A member asked:
I'm menstruating, & want to start back on the pill (sprintec) tomorrow. can i start if my period is ending, but not over? i've been off for 4 months.

Yes: If this is a regular period for you, it is ok to start on the sunday of the week in which you get your period, whether you are still bleeding or not. Just remember to use back-up protection for the first month you are on the pill (like condoms and spermicide). Check with your own gyn provider to make sure it is ok for you to re-start the pill.
