Starting Birth Control

Mary

Alrighty, y'all! I am about to start a new BC pill prescribed to me by my OBGYN. He just specified to start on the day that I stopped bleeding/spotting rather than starting the Sunday during my cycle or the following week. This is new to me as I e always started on Sunday in the past, but I'm not really sure why. Haha. I'm really just curious about the time in which I take it. Has anyone ever taken it at night like I used to? Do y'all take it in the morning? Any issues with either preference? Also, I know taking it around the same time is recommended and I understand why, but does everyone always take it at the same time every day/night? I just want to start this off the right way. My husband and I still plan on using condoms, counting my fertile days, as well as the pill because I'm neurotic about not getting pregnant again any time soon. But I'd like to eventually get away from the condoms as well. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. The name of the BC is Nortrel 1/35 (28) Tab substituted for Ortho-Novum 1/35 Tab. Hope everyone is well!
