Okay, so I started taking birth control for the first time today. I woke up and found that I had started my period, so I chose a time to start taking it (3:00). The clinic I went to said to start taking it on the Sunday after my period started, but when I read the instructions for the birth control for myself, it said I could start it on the first day of my period. With the Sunday method, I would have to use another form of birth control for a week; with the "first day" method, I wouldn't have to use any other method.
I started "Yasmin" as my birth control. I am fifteen years old and no where near ready for a baby. I just want to make sure I'm doing everything right. Did I start it at the right time?
Also, I was wondering, when they say take it at the EXACT time, does it make a difference if you take it within 5-10 minutes after the exact time you started taking it?
