Has anyone started taking the pill before their period started? My doctor instructed me to follow the instructions on my new Yasmin birth control pills, but other friends have started while in the doctors office "quick start". Has anyone ever tried this? I am supposed to get my period any day now, but am leaving on vacation in 3 days and would rather not have it. If I start the new pack of pills now before my period gets here will it prevent my period until the white pills?

You may have some break through bleeding and you need to use another form of birth control.

The day I went to the dr to get birth control was the day I started taking it. It will stop your period until you get to the white pills although you might have some spotting here and there, but nothing compared to a period and it's hardly anything.

follow the doctors instructions. if you really want to start now contact your pharmacist or doctor and ask them. starting at the wrong point in a cycle means the method will not be effective for a longer period of time, you'll need medical advice to find out how long.

It's probably ok to start in now, but use a back-up method (condoms) for the first month. I started my pills in the middle of a cycle and it got everything back on track. My cycle was messed up after having a baby and nursing.

The Best Birth control method is the abstinence.
The other one is to know your Rhythm.
These are the only methods accepted by the Church.
