everybody is a bit confused when it comes to taking the pill and how much time they must wait in order to no to get pregnant
here is the answer in a nutshell: Dr. tell you to take the pill the first day of your period. why? this is to make sure you are not pregnant. If you are 100% sure that you are not pregnant you can start to take your pill of immediately and in the both cases you are protected as of the moment you start to take the pill.
to avoid issues and worries be constant taking your pill and at the right time everyday Don´t skip a pill and its 100% sperm prof.
just keep in mind that the pill will only protect you from not getting pregnant, but not from sexual transmitted diseases so please be safe and careful.
I'm also on Diane (protip Brenda-35 is exactly the same and half the price) and if you want to delay or even skip your period just skip the white (placebo) pills and take the next yellow (active) pill in the pack. FYI it's not unhealthy or dangerous for you to skip or delay your period for a month or two.
If this is your first day taking the pill, you should start the pack on the first day of your period. If you are already taking the pill, take one every day, even when you have your period. Follow the instructions that come with the pack.
you can start taking another pack even if you're not through with the first one you can start taking the first white pill from the new pack on the first day of your period and disregard the remaining red/brown pills that you took.
No you can't.
Yes, as soon as you stop that close to the final 28 days of pills your period will start. You can manipulate your pills that way. When I was on them I would do that. It seems like you are forgetting your pills. To avoid doing that start taking them the same time every day.
Your period can arrive anytime when you suddenly stop the pill. It may be days or even a week or two before it arrives.
Hi, You should continue taking your pills as normal and as they were prescribed to be taken by your doctor.
let your period bleed for a while, and then when it's going away you could start taking the hormonal pills again. Try not to forget. Although apparently you only need 3 days of bleeding to be healthy and allow your cycle to keep moving even on the pill. So 3 days of period is enough.
Most probably not, even with such a short period.
This may stop your periof from coming but realistically you can only start Yasmin BC on the first day of your period. In most cases your period will be a lot lighter and may even finish earlier than usual for you. This is caused by the BC becomming used to your body.
The pill lightens bleeding. Sometimes it's so light you don't see it at all. If you took the pill correctly, you don't need a pregnancy test. But it's not reasonble to expect your period to start on the exact "due date," even when you're on the pill.
Genetics aren't the only thing to influence when girls start their period. It's entirely possible that one twin starts her period before the other (even if they are identical).
