Now: If you just started your period, you can go ahead and start your birth control pills now. Condoms are usually recommended for the first two weeks of use.

A member asked:

I'm experiencing heavy breakthrough bleeding that feels like a period, one week before placebos, in my 3rd month of taking birth control. Is this worrisome? I haven't skipped a pill, although I took it two hours late a couple of times this month.
