Question about the pill? Please help:)?!


Question: I got my period today (Monday) and I stopped taking the pill for a while, but I want to start again. I'm suppose to be taking Ortho Tri Cyclen. My question is I know I'm suppose to be taking the pill next sunday, but instead can I take to pills today for yesterday and today? So for Sunday and Monday. I know I can start the pill anyday of the week, but I want to be a sunday starter, and if I start next week I will be getting my period on a week that I don't want it. Thanks for the help:)

If this is your first time taking the pill then you are supposed to take your first pill on the FIRST day fo your period.

If this is not your first time taking the pill and you were on it anyway, meaning that you have had a weeks break from taking it due to being on your period, then you really should have started your new pack SUNDAY! You cannot take 2 pills on one day to make up for a 'missed day', however you can just start your new packet today (monday), but this means you will have to wear a condom when having intercourse for the next 7 days to make sure you do not conceive. If you want to be a 'sunday starter' then you can finish this new packet a day early (meaning you will leave a pill in the packet). This is fine as long as you make sure that you definately start your next packet on the SUNDAY (a day earlier than if you were to finish that last tablet!)

Hope this helps!

if you got the period today (monday)than you should start taking it today otherwise you have to wait untill the next period. I think that is how all of the kinds of pills work.Read the instruction to make sure
