A member asked:

My birth control seasonale says to start on a sunday after my period starts.i haven't had a period yet so i was wondering if i could start it now?

Check a test. : If you are just starting BCPs, we like to start with your period so we know you're not pregnant. You should talk with your prescribing MD If you don't start and the pregnancy test is negative.
