When do i start taking my birth control?!


Question: When do i start taking my birth control?
Last thursday i went to the clinic and got birth control and im a little confused.
The instructions say: Take the first white "actuve" pill of the first pack (i have 3) on the sunday AFTER your period starts, even if you are still bleeding. If your period begins on sunday, start the pack that same day.

So, my period starts on friday, april 1st. Do i take my first pill on the day after sunday or do i start on sunday? Or do i wait till the sunday of the next week? I'm horribly confused. Which i hope is common. Please don't tell me i'm not old enough. I'm 16 and the doctors agree that it's a smart decision. Anyway tho, i'm pretty sure i have to take the white pill first and start on the pill that says the day i'm supposed to take it om right?
- Example: i take it on friday april 1st (if im supposed too) so i take the pill that says friday above it?
There's also a circle of green pills in the middle do i take tho after i've taken the out circle of white and blue pills.
I'm sorry i'm so dumb lol. Pleaseee help!

Answers:

if u start on friday april 1st, then take a pill sunday april 3rd. take all 3 weeks of white (active) pills then 1 week of green (inactive) pills. ur period should start sometime during the green pills, mine was always on the 4th green pill day but it takes a few months to get ur body used to them so it may be different. after u finish the last green pill, start a new pack and u take it the next day (it should be a sunday if u havent missed any of them)

takeit the Sunday after you start your periods
start on Sunday! If your period is April 1 Friday, start sunday April 3.
the fourth week is when your period will come. they are just sugar pills.
