Should I wait until the first day of period to begin birth control?

Freya

I just received a prescription for Tri-Sprintec, filled it, and it’s my first time. The nurse said to wait for the first day of my period, but I know a lot of people nowadays say that that isn’t necessary and it’s outdated and just said so people keep on track.

Any experiences? Thanks.
