A member asked:
Was recently prescribed hailey fe birth control to prevent pregnancy. do i take it one the first day my period starts or on the sunday after my period ends? confused by when to start taking it?

You can do it either way. You need to be on your period so that you know that you are not pregnant. But if your period starts in the middle of the week, it can be confusing to start a new pill pack midweek since many are labeled for Sunday starts. Do what makes sense with your schedule and take the contraceptive at the same time each day.
