If I start my cycle on Monday and want to start taking the pill on that day, I can't figure out which pill to take? ## You should start at the beginning of the pill pack, just like you would if you started on any other day. If you start taking them on the first day of your menstrual cycle, you should be protected from pregnancy immediately, however, starting at any other point requires using additional protection for the first 7 days. Is there anything else I can help with?

I just started taking the birth control pill Lessina. And I was wondering exactly how long it will take to become protected against pregnancy? ## how soon after does it take for lessina28 to begin protecting against pregnancy? ## Generally, you are advised to use a back-up method of birth control for the first 7 days, after you start birth control tablets.
