When To Start

I had my period on Sunday 1/19/2014. I got my pills (tri-previfem) today. Can i start today? I am reading so many different things.

Hello, Rebecca! How are you?

You can start them at any time! Your cycle will adjust accordingly. However, if you start them any time past the 2 day of your period, you will need to take them for a full 7 days, without forgetting any, before you are protected from pregnancy, so for that first week, you'd need to use a backup method of contraception.

However, if your doctor has provided you with other instructions, then please disregard what I've said and follow them.

Is there anything else I can help with?
