Birth Control Pill Brenda 35 Ed

I have started taking Brenda 35 ed - the pack comes with the white tablets which I never take (but in this pack they ask you to start taking the white tablets on the first day of your cycle when you start a new pack) however I didnt do it, I started taking my pill on my first day of the period with an active tablet - (Normally with other pills you are protected straight away) but with this one it says it takes two weeks, I am just very confused.
So I took an active tablet on my first day of my period and been taking active tablets for the last week at the same time. As I said I never take the white tablets as they contain sugar and dont find them necessary can someone tell me if I am intermediately protected when taking active tablet first day of the period?

Hello, Nana! How are you?

Okay, first of all, if you're not new to taking oral contraceptives, then you don't need to worry about those instructions. Those are only for new users, or for people who have taken a break from them for awhile and are starting again.

If you were taking one already, you actually should have just moved seamlessly to the new one, without a break.

That said yes, if you started the active tablets on the first day of your period, then you are immediately protected. The reason they are telling people to wait two weeks, is because they have them starting on the inactive tablets, so they aren't taking the active ones until the second week and won't be protected from pregnancy until the 15th day.

Is there anything else I can help with?
