1. Sunday Start. Start the first pill of your pack on the first Sunday following the first day of your menstrual period. For example, if your period began on Tuesday, start your pills the following Sunday. If your period begins on Sunday, start your pills the same day. Use extra protection (condoms) for at least two weeks. You will have 28 pills to take. When you finish a pack of pills, start a new pack the next day regardless if you are still having a period or not. 2. Same Day Start. Begin your pills on the very first day of your menstrual period. No extra protection is needed if you are absolutely sure this is a normal period. Even though I would suggest you use condoms or some type of protection.

∙ 11y agoYes. Starting the birth control pill during your period gives you immediate protection. You can start at any time of the cycle, but if you start on another day, you'll need to use a backup method of birth control, like condoms or abstinence from vaginal sex, for the first seven days.

What will happen if you are unable to start a new pack of birth control pills until a week after the end of your period?
During the last week of your pills you are taking placebo pills. There are no hormones in placebo pills that have hormones to protect you from pregnancy. However, if you have been properly taking your birth control every day at the same time, during this week you will start your menstrual cycle, and you will still be protected from pregnancy. All you have to do is finish all the pills in the pack, each month. Also, you do not have to take the placebo pills because there aren't any hormones in them. You must however, not get off track starting your birth control, you must start your new pack of pills the same way you began taking the birth control.
Is it possible to start your birth control earlier because your periods are shorter?
If this is your first time taking birth control: Most times you can start your birth control on the first day of your period, the last day of your period, or the Sunday after the day your period starts. Make sure you follow the directions your doctor gives you though, because you can really mess up your cycle if you don't. If you've been taking it.. don't skip days.. even if they're days where you're taking the placebo or not taking any pills. If you don't, you may end up throwing off your cycle or the pill may not be as effective against pregnancy. In short. Follow the directions you've been given! :D
If you missed a birth control pill and got your period should you finish the rest of your pack?
No, you should start on your new pact at the end of your period
Should you start your new pack the day you end your period?
You should start your new pack of birth control pills on schedule, regardless of bleeding. If you want to start early, on the day your period ends, that's fine. Do not go more than seven days without taking an active birth control pill.
While on depo what time is the best time to try to get pregnant?
You almost cannot get pregnant during your period. The human menstrual cycle is nominally four weeks. Starting with the first day of your period, normally you will become fertile on about day 14. Your fertile period thus is at exactly the opposite end of your cycle from when you are menstruating. This does not mean that you cannot get pregnant from having sexual intercourse during your period. Normally, menstruation is 14 days after the start of your fertile period. If you have a short cycle, say 22 days, and your period is the first four days of that, and you have sex on day 4 of your period, when your fertile time starts on day 8 it will be only four days since you had sex. Sperm can live up to 6 days, and so it is possible that you will become pregnant.
