A member asked:
Is it okay to start using birth control pills on the last day of your period?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: If this is your first pack of birth control pills you can start it on the last day of your period. Commonly I have women starting their first pack begin on the 5th day of the period or on the sunday following the first day of the period. If you have been taking the pill already start the second pack the day after finishing the first pack.
