birth control pills... can I start it today even if I am not due for my period for another week?
My boyfriend is gone for a week and new pills say I have to wait 7 days after starting them before I can have intercourse without alternative protection and on top of that it says to wait until the sunday or 1st day of my period. If my period is due in a week can I start today that way I cant get the 7 day stretch out of the way?

Why not just wrap him up a few more days? You've gone this long without it.
I started when my period did, and it worked out really great. I would think it'd be harder to regulate and know when your period is due if you started early.
Okay, okay, people are giving you misleading information. You don't HAVE to start on the Sunday following your period. That's if you do the Sunday start plan. You could do it the way you're talking about and be just fine.

If it is a regular 28 day pack it is best to follow the instructions - with 2 daughters and myself the doctor was very specific to start on the first day or sunday. During that week definitely use other protection.

You can start but in order for the pills to work fully you have to be on them at least 3 months. After your menstraition ends,I'd use protection (condum) anyway,while your on the pills. Better to be safe than sorry.
