Okay today I went and got bc pills. Ortho
tri cyclen lo. I am on my period (started
july 31 should be gone in a day or two).
The doctor said to either wait until
sunday to start them or she said I could
start today. (wednesday). I decided to
start them today.
I was looking through the little packets
you get and it says to either start on a
sunday or the first day of your period. I
was wondering if it would be alright to
start them today or should I wait? Also
will it make my period come sooner if I
start my 1st pill today. Ahh feedback
would be greatly appreciated!!.
If this has already been a topic im sorry
but I dont have the time to look through
it at the moment. Thanks alot :-)

If you already started the pills today,
you definitely should not stop them.
Just keep taking them one a day (at the
same time every day) even if you start you
period, or have some spotting or
breakthrough bleeding, while still taking
the active pills. Your cycle may be a
little werid the first month or so, but
then should even out and be normal by the
third cycle.
However, if you have not yet taken a pill,
you should probably wait to start them
until sunday. By doing so, your cycle
will suffer the least irregularity and you
will likely have less spotting or
breakthrough bleeding and have your period
on time (during your placebo pills).
