Sunday Start

I just got prescribed low-ogestrel a couple days ago in the mdidle of my period. The directions explain that you can start on the sunday after your period starts, but if you got your period on a sunday, you should start it that same day. I got my period on sunday, does that mean I have to wait another month to take my first pill, or can I take it this sunday (tomorrow)??

If you started your period on a Sunday, you should have taken it that same day to start the pack.

However, that is just to provide you with immediate protection against pregnancy.

You can start them, at any time, you will just need to use some other form of protection for the first 7 days, to allow them to become effective in your body. So no, there is no need to wait another month. You don't have to be experiencing your period to start them, you'll just have to use some other form of contraceptive for the first week, if you start them at any other time.
