So i just saw my gyno and she said that i should start taking the pill on the sunday after my next period. this was like 3 days ago. and my last period was in the beginning of july, so im expecting to get my next period on like august 2nd. but randomly today i started bleeding and at first i thought it was just spotting (which has never happened to me before but i didnt think anything of it) but it just kinda turned into a normal period... i still have about a week and a half before im supposed to get my period though. should i start the pill on this coming sunday anyway or should i wait until after im supposed to get my period? im all confused
well the other thing about taking it now is that then i'll get my period at a shitty time when i dont want to get it, and right now im not really on my period, like its not as heavy as it should be. im only bleeding as much as i do maybe by the last day or two
You must take it on the first day of a period. Don't take it where a period was supposed to be if it aint there.
well i dont know if it'll come on the 2nd anymore... its like reaally super light right now cause its a week and a half early... will it fuck shit up if i wait and start the pill next week so i dont get my period on the week i dont want to get it?
It doesn't matter when you start taking the pill. If you start it in the middle of your cycle you are more likely to have spotting in between your "period week" for the first couple of months since your period will try to come at the same time it always has. That's why it is often recommended that you start it during your period. It is not necessary though. Most pills protect you after 7 days of taking it, no matter when you began.
