If started on the first or second day of your period, according to NIH reports, this medication will be immediately effective at preventing pregnancy. If start on the third day, or later, you will need to take it for a full 7 days, before it will prevent pregnancy. Its typical side effects may include nausea, dizziness, headache, PMS-like symptoms, and irritability.

As this point, there should be no missed pills, you should start with the first one in the pack and continue from there, unless your doctor instructs otherwise.

What did you decided to do?
