A member asked:
My doctor had me start the pill during my period and now i am not in-sync with the placebo pills. am i still protected?

After 7 days: The pills are effective after about 7 days. It is not necessary to start the pack during a particular time. Once you start the pack of pills they are in charge and your ovaries are essentially turned to the off position.
