Today I received some birthcontrol from my doctor called trivora. I've never used birthcontrol before but wanted to give it a try since I'm engaged and don't want a baby since I'm working on becoming a nurse. I should be starting my period in the next 3-5 days. I was wondering when do I take my pills? The doctor had told me something like, "go ahead and take them this sunday" and i told her, "even if i start my period?" and she said yes. But the part that confuses me is she told me if I start my period later, like next week, to wait till the FOLLOWING sunday. On the instructions, it says to take the sunday AFTER your period. I'm just confused now. I wanted to call and ask but the clinic is closed. My friend that's on birthcontrol told me to take it this sunday. I have the 28 pill pack. Also, is there a time where you don't take the pills. I mean, let's say I've been on the pill and then I start, am I supposed to still take them when I'm on my period or not. Sorry, I'm just confused.
