when do i start birth control

Question

I was prescribed brith control but when doni actually start it?

Answer

Read the pamphlet that comes with your birth control! It is there for a reason.

It tells you how to start it, what to do if you miss a pill tells you about drug interactions and so much more!

READ. YOUR. PAMPLHET.

I can't stress that enough. It is your bible for your birth control.

Answer

Your doctor should tell you this! Some people say the first day you start your period, others say the Sunday after your period starts (that's what I did) and others say when every you want.

Call your doctor and see what they recommend.

Answer

Call your doctor because it can depend on the brand you're on.
Both times I started taking BC pills (idk one but the other was Microgestin), my doctor told me to start on the first Sunday after I start my period. But for other brands it could be the day you start your period. So call your doctor, they should have explained all this when they prescribed it.

Answer

You are supposed to start taking your birth control during your next period on a day of your choosing.

Answer

I would start mine the Saturday after my period started, that way when it's that time of the month it would start on the Monday or Tuesday instead of the weekend & ruin my plans :)
