New To The Pill - Help

Daniela

OKAY SO I'm sort of a moron and decided it was fine to start taking my birth control without reading the instructional packet first. With my pill, I was supposed to take it either on the first day after my period, or the first day of my period.

So, naturally, I took it 7 days before my period started

I keep trying to find answers online but nothing seems to really fit my situation - does anyone know of a source I can read, or can personally tell me what to do? I've taken 5 starter pills so far, so I figured it's too late to just stop completely and wait

BIG QUESTION:

Do I continue to take the pill throughout my next period that starts in 2 days, or do I begin to take the placebo pills during my period? If not, when do I begin taking my placebo pills?

Thank you!!
