I only went to the dr and got the prescribtion today. It says to start on the first day of your period and in the red section of the pills, but I am on the second day of my period and my period would still be going once it is out the red section on the packet. Do I start taking them today? Or should I wait a month and start on the first day of my period?
(doctor did not explain it very well to me)
Thanks in advance.

You can start today. It doesn't matter if your are still bleeding while taking the active pills - before long the pills will control when you bleed. Just keep taking them day by day whether your bleed or not. If your pack has days marked, take the first one that has the right day on it from that section.
Your cycle may be a bit screwed up during the first three months - bleeding or spotting in the middle, or no bleeding at teh end, but it usually sorts itself out within three months.
If you still have problems after three months you need to go back to your doctor to change pills

I advise you to go back to the doctors ASAP and ask her/him about this because your doctor is the best person to help you in this situtation. Good luck!
