what would happen if you started your birth control not on the day of your period?

Question

i was perscribed birth control almost a month ago, and i really want to start it, however my gyn. told me to start it on the first day of my period, however i havent had my period since then and i am really anxious to start birth control. the reason i went on was because i had an irregular period, and the birth control is suppossed to regulate it. so what would happen if i started the birth control not on the day of my period?

Answer 1

That is called the quick start to birth control pills. I will give you a link to check out. You must be sure you are not pregnant before starting them. You should really call your Dr and ask his advice on the matter.

Answer 2

probably nothing, but if you're going to have sex you would have to use another form of birth control i think. Not really sure always started mine when they told me.
