A member asked:
I was prescribed birth control (lo loestrin) and was curious if i would be able to start taking it tomorrow, the last day of my period. it says to start taking it the same day you start your period but ive read you can start it anytime??
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes, last day: Typically, you want to start oral contraceptives once you have verification that you are not pregnant (ie/ period) It can be started at any point once that is confirmed. So yes, you can start your pills tomorrow. Irregular periods are common for the first 3-4 months after starting hormonal contraceptives.
