Will starting the pill on day 1 stop my period?

Question

So, I am starting birth control for the first time (Isibloom), and the pamphlet that came with it says I can take it on the first day of my period or on the first Sunday after my period. If I start it on the first day of my period will I immediately stop bleeding completely or will it continue like normal? Also what would happen if I take it mid cycle (7 days before my period is supposed to start)?

Answer

It can take a few months for your period to line up inside of your placebos week, regardless of when you start.

Answer

It will not stop your period. Don’t try starting mid-cycle, it does work like that.

Answer

When I got on the pill, I started it the day my period did. It was gone by the 3rd day when it usually lasted 6-9 days. Don’t start it at any time besides what the directions say.

Answer

It'll actually prolong it

Answer

No, so actually birth control takes a few weeks to kick in. So, if you just started, your period shouldn’t change until next month. That’s why they say to start it at a certain time so you have an exact cycle. Because birth control actually just regulates your period and prevents pregnancy.
