Starting Birth Control Pills: When to Begin & Cycle Effects

Question
I am going to start taking the pill and I was wondering if I
have to wait until my actual period next week. Can I start
taking it today to avoid having my period when I am on
holiday-or will that mess up my cycle completely? Thank-you
very much

Answer
Sienna,

Sorry I was not able to answer your question sooner. Did you start the pill after your period or at the time?

I don't recommend birth control pills or any kind of hormonal birth control methods. Please reconsider this decision.

Many women have had side effects and other problems from birth control pills. Please email me at CHERYL51@aol.com so we can talk more.
