Is it bad to start the pill on the last day of bleeding?

Question

The only reason I ask is because it seems like every doctor tells you to start on the first day and i didn't because i havent had my period in 2 months so I wanted to make sure i had a normal period before starting the pill.

Answer

No, it’s not bad. U can technically start it anytime u want. Starting it on the first day (or at least within the first 5 days of ur period) simply ensures that 1. U are not pregnant, and 2. U are protected immediately... otherwise u would need to wait a full 7 days to be protected. So, if ur last day of bleeding was past 5 days from the start of it, then u need to wait for it to be effective.
