A member asked:
I got birth control pills recently and it says to start taking them the sunday after i start my period, but i havent had a period since january. i have very irregular periods and idk when my next one will be. can i just start taking them now?

If you are not sexually active then it is ok to start anytime and Sunday is ok simply to remember. If you are sexually active get a pregnancy test and if negative start the ocp packet. Using protection for a week is IMO better as well before having sex
