Birth Control

After 7 1/2 months I got my wonderful friend back. Oh well. It was fun while it lasted. Anyway Im going back on BC. Do I start it today, the first day of my period or do I wait for it to be over then start. Its been SO long I forgot

Re: Birth Control

I always began new BC pills on the Sunday after my period started. To be sure, give your Dr. a call. Or check the pack, they usually explain it in the insert in the package.

I would have checked the insert... but I threw it away

Re: Birth Control

my doctor had me start them right away and then the following month I started on the Sunday. Dont forget to use other protection that first month unless you want a sib for Emma

Re: Birth Control

I should have started on them at my 6 week check-up. BUT if mother nature didnt want me to have it then why should I let it come (Hey Im not messing with Mo-Nature when she wants to keep my period away. Why invite cramps and bloating and b*tchyness??)
Now that I have it back I figure I should be back on it until the honeymoon. (I want to fit into my dress!!!)
