Starting Birth Control Before Recommended Posted: 02-04-07 01:10am
My doctor told me not to begin birth
control until the sunday after my period,
which I should be getting within the next
week, but i'll be visiting my boyfriend
out of town that same weekend and am
wondering if I begin my birth control now
if that will make my period come sooner,
later, not at all, and if in fact it will
still be effective ... Help.

You can start birth control anytime, but
when you start it on your period, you are
protecte dimmediately. This should not
matter though, since you only need to take
the pill for 7 days for it to be
effective. That should leave some time
for it to be effective before you get to
see your man.
You can start now, but you must use it 7
days for it to be effective. Aka no
unprotected sex for 7 days.
You may still get some light bleeding when
your period is due, you may get nothing,
each woman is different
