Did I start wrong with Birth Control?!
Question: Did I start wrong with Birth Control?
I started taking birth control for the first time about 5 days ago. The doctor said take it on Sunday but the wrapper said take it on the first SUnday of your period? Did I start wrong, if so, do I just continue? If it helps, I ended my period a week before I started taking birth control
Answers:
Just continue as is. Typically they say start on first sunday of your period, but if you start on a different day then the pill won't be effective as quickly--you'll need to use backup birth control for the whole month. But it's not like you'll explode or anything if you do it.
