Lo Estrin Fe- Am I Doing This Right?
Updated
Nicole Says:
Started taking Lo Estrin FE last month, a day after I finished my last period. The doctor said I should start right away with the first blue pill in the pack, and to put the little stickers on the top, because It was a Friday. On the last blue pill of the third row, I got my period. I have had it for about 6 days which is longer than normal for me, since this is my first month on birth control. Everything I've read has told me to either start with the white pills the first day you have your period, or start the blue pills the Sunday of your period. Even though I didn't start on either of those, will the birth control still be effective?

Hello, Nicole! How are you?
You are confusing the instructions for someone that would be starting them new, who hasn't taken them before, but you've already been taking them for a month. Thus, you need to continue taking one tablet a day, every day, in order and then start your new pack, at the end of your period with the blue pills.
