That's a question that should have been answered by your doctor when you receivd your prescription. Perhaps it would be better to ask your pharmacist or physician rather than require people here to answer SPECIFIC medical questions. Hello. You need to start a new pack of pills after the seven day break from pills. If you start a new pack right away you wont have a period and this could mess up your future cycles.

∙ 12y agoYou start the first pill the Sunday after the FIRST day of your period ideally, but can be any day of the week, but after the 1st day of your period. Your cycle is four weeks long, you take colored pills for 3, and take white pills for 1 and you will have your period that week, then start a new pack of pills.

∙ 13y agoIf you're just starting the pill, it's best to take the pill on the first day of your period. My GYN told me that you can also start the pill the Sunday following the start of your period... That way, it's easier to keep track of whether or not you took/missed your pill that day.

∙ 12y agoYes, you can. If you do so, they become effective with the first pill. If you start them on another day, you should use a back up method of birth control for the first seven days.
