The doctors usually say to start the pill the Sunday after your last period.
You should call your doctor to get clarification of how to take your birth control pills. Birth control pills are supposed to be started on the Sunday after your period begins.
You should take birth control on schedule regardless of bleeding. Hormonal birth control can sometimes cause a missed period.
I believe that you are supposed to start your birth control pack on the Sunday after your period starts.
Depends. If you just got your birth control and you have never had it before.. What you do is take it the Sunday after your period. For example. You started on a Monday. You ended on a Thursday. You take your birth control that Sunday. If you have taken birth control before.. Yes, you take it. Whether you are on or off.
yes especially if you are on medication or birth control
Yes, you can take birth control during your period. You should take your birth control as directed regardless of bleeding.
You will begin your period the next month as usual, except more on target. you are supposed to start the birth control the first Sunday after you get your period, so you are doing it right.
no. Birth control pills can stop periods altogether, shorten them, or turn them in to "spotting" If you were getting your period before you started the pills. If you stop at any time during your cycle this should bring on your period.
Yes, sometmes when you start birth control you will have break through bleeding and it can tie in with your period since you started the pill during your period.
If you start the birth control pill now, the period is likely to be shorter, although that's not guaranteed.
Sunday after your period
I suppose it's possible. Anytime you start a new birth control you should always use a "backup method" of birth control to be safe. Take a home test and if it comes back negative but you still haven't started your period, then consider making an appointment with your ob/gyn for a blood test.
