A member asked:
Can you start the mini pill bc any time during the cycle or does it need to be started first day of period? is the level of protection the same if started any time versus day 1 of period?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: first day of cycle start, makes the pill protective for that cycle, rather than later protection. Takes about two to get protection, if not using first day start.
