Your best bet is to wait til your period starts, like the directions say ... the reason being that on the off chance you're pregnant, you shouldn't take the Pill, because it could be bad for the baby.  Once your period starts, it's safe to start taking them.  I know it's annoying to have to wait, but it's best to work with your body.

I am on the pill and my last day is Sunday. I never start my period before Thursday. So I wouldn't be to worried. It has always been that way for me.

Did you have to double up on the pills because you missed the 2 previous days pills? When you skip pills, your body thinks it's time for your period. I'm guessing thats why you started bleeding. Make sure to use a back-up method of birth control for the rest of the pill cycle to prevent pregnancy.

Well, thats weird.  My doctor told me to take my pill starting on the day i start my period.  Go to your doctor and just ask him to explain it again to you and make sure you clearly understand.  Dont have sex if you are not sure you're taking it right!

I don't understnad why you would take the morning after pill if you started your period because that obviously means that you're not pregnant!?! Anyways, you probably stopped your period because of all the horomomes and stuff that you put in your body when you took the pill. But, just for future references if you aren't ready for a baby...then don't have sex!

I started taking the pill 5 years ago, it takes a little while to kick in a cycle. When I get to the sugar pills it takes a few days (3-4) before I start. In the begining of taking the pills my period would run all different days anywhere from 4 to 7 days at a time, now I can tell you what day it is to start and end.  It will take a while for it to become regular.

It's too late now. With better planning you could have used the pill to skip your period, but not if you're leaving Thursday.

well I would not expect the pill to protect you from pregnancy yet.  As I recall you have your period on the 4th week, and it's usually a few days later.  You need to have some kind of system to remind you to take your pill.

Your instruction to take the pill at the same hour every day is to help you more cutting out side effects (like spotting).  Generally speaking, you have about a 2-3 hour window around your "regular" time in which to take the pill.  Although Lutera is a generic, the progestational agent (levonorgestrol) should cover your "irregularity".

Birth control includes abstinence, withdrawal(though it is not that safe),birth control pills, injectables, condom (for him), diapraghm. You can also try the rhythm method or simply knowing your wet and dry periods yet you can still have sex without worry. All you have to do is count 10 (ten) days since you had your period for this month. On the first day of your period up to the tenth day (incuding your last day of your menstruation) IT IS SAFE. After that ten days until your next menstruation, it is your fertile or your wet period. =)

count from the first day of your period. about 12-14 days later, you ovulate. about 12-14 days after that, your period should begin.

Your period can start anytime during the row of green pills.\nMy period starts at the third pill.\n\nHowever, since you used to get your period before you start the green pills and you have been sexually active, get a pregnancy test because you could be pregnant.  If you are pregnant, you need to know as soon as possible to know to stop taking the pills.  Taking the Pill during pregnancy hurts the baby.

YOUR ON SOME KIND OF BIRTH CONTROL PILL BUT YOUR QUESTION IS A LITTLE VAGUE.... IF YOUR WORRIED CAUSE YOU HAVE NT STARTED YOUR PERIOD, I DIDN'T START TILL I WAS 16 SO SOME PEOPLE NEED A LITTLE MORE TIME!

It is normal that you are late. Your period will change a lot as your body starts to adjust to your new pill. Don't worry unless you skip your period for too long, like a couple of months. And I would advise using condoms the first month.

You can do it one of three ways: (a)You can start the pills on the first day of bleeding, (b) you can wait until the first Sunday after the first day of bleeding (so if you start your period on Tuesday, start the pills the following Sunday) or (c) you can start immediately.  \n\nWaiting for the first Sunday after the first day of bleeding may make it easier for you to keep track of which pills to take when, especially if you are using multiphasic pills like Triphasil, where the dose of hormones changes throughout the month.\n\nIf you're using the pills for prevention of pregnancy, don't forget that you should take at least one, if not two packs of pills before you stop using alternate forms of birth control (condoms, foam, diaphragm).  Use a backup method of birth control if you miss more than two pills in a 21 day pack.  \n\nYou should take the pill at the same time every day, to ensure the greatest protection against pregnancy.  If you are using the pill only for hormonal regulation and are not sexually active, you don't have to be as vigilant about when you take the pill, since small fluctuations in hormonal levels that can allow for a pregnancy will not be an issue for you.
