when taking Ortho Tri-cyclen lo does one start the first white pill on day 1 of sunday?

Answer 1

BCPs can be taken one of two ways.

Sunday Start: You take your first pill on the Sunday following your period. Example: If your period starts on Friday 4/20, you take your first pill on Sunday 4/22. USE BACKUP birth control for 7 full days (till 4/29).

1st Day Start: You take your first pill on the same day as your period starts. Example: If you're period starts on Friday 4/20, you take your first pill on THAT day. You do NOT need to use back up birth control.

ALWAYS: when in doubt contact your prescribing doctor or pharmacist or READ your INFO INSERT.

Answer 2

You should start taking it when the doctor tells you.

You could take the first pill on a Sunday so you don't have to mess with the stickers for the days of the week.
