Do you have to start taking your birth control the first day of your period every month so you don't have to use another form of protection or is that just when you start your very first pack of pills?

You only start taking the pills on the first day of your period when you are starting out. From then on you just take one pill per day and your period will come when it needs to. I always started my first "sugar pill" on Thursday morning and didn't see my period until Saturday some time. As long as you are taking one pill per day you will not need to take addition protection. Extra protection is only needed if you miss a pill.

Does it matter how many days you start taking birth control pills after your period?
Usually, they tell you to start taking your birth control WHILE you have your period, because your protection from getting pregnant starts immediately.

It doesn't matter when you start, but keep in mind to use extra protection for the first month.
