Are all birth control suppoused to be taken on the first day your period begins? what happens if i can't take it that day and forget
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Take regularly: Normally, women start oral contraceptives on the sunday after their period occurs. The pills then should be taken at the same time every day. The new pack then should start again on the sunday after your period again.
