A member asked:
Are there effects of starting birth control pills half way through your cycle? what are they?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
More irreg bleeding: You are likely to get more irregular bleeding in the first month of taking the pills, if you start mid-cycle, you may get your expected period, then another withdrawal bleed at the end of the pack. Of course - you need to use a back up method for the first month of taking pills.
