If I started my period on Saturday (August 4) , can I start my birth control pills today Sunday (August 13)?
Question:
Answers:
Yes, Sunday, 08/12/07 would be the time you start your pills.
It is ok to start when you're not on your period. Just keep in mind they take a little longer to be fully effective if you start it far away from your period and also you will probably have more spot bleeding/discharge if you start now rather than right at your period.
You are usually supposed to start it the day of your period but your pretty much just ending your period anyway so you probably don't have much to worry about at all.
I started my birth control two weeks after I had my period when I got on it, all that I had trouble with was a bit of spot bleeding for the entire first cycle then it stabilized.
no, you missed the window. You need to start next cycle. Take it the 1st sunday after you start your period. Even if you started on sunday, take them that day.
Technically, you should have started them last Sunday. I'm not sure, but I do think starting them tonight might be OK. If you were my daughter I would tell you to wait until morning and call the doctor and ask them for sure. If starting tonight would have been OK then starting them tomorrow morning will not hurt, either. But no matter what you have to be on them one full cycle before they are in full effect. If you have otherwise unprotected sex in the first month on the pill you have a high chance of getting pregnant.
You should wait until next month. That is because you must take the very first pill, on the very first day of your period. Then, when the pills finish, you wait 7 days. The eighth day your start taking the pills again.
P l e a s e make a simple call to your OB/GYN...Do you even want to chance it...
