Can I just start taking my birth control now?

Question

I just got a prescription, and I should get my period in about two days..but I really wanna start taking it now.

can I?

and if so, is it worth it, like will it mess up my cycle?

help, I want it now!

ohhhh & when does it start taking affect, like how long after I start taking it will I be able to have s*x without worrying?

thanks.

Answer 1

they told me to wait til the sunday after my period started if they told you when to start taking it then start taking it when they said and I think about a month after to make sure its safe

Answer 2

you need to have your period first, start it the first sunday after you stop bleeding

it takes 2 full packs for it to be effective

Answer 3

you can starting taking it now. you're cycle will be better on birth control. and you need to wait 7 days until you can have s*x without a condom
