A member asked:
I just got levlen (ethinyl estradiol and levonorgestrel) ed. i'm confused about the red mark, and i don't know what the white sugar pills are for? do i start the pill when i first period?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
One per day: Not sure what red mark you are referring to but taking birth control is very simple. Take one pill per day. Start on the sunday after your first period. Continue taking one per day including the placebo pills. When you finish the pack you just start the next one.
