A member asked:

I had a miscommunication with the pharmacy and got my birth control about a week after my period ended. will starting my pack now be safe for my body?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Wait till next month: It is not so much a question of safety as effectiveness. Starting the pack this late is really unlikely to provide you with any birth control. You should wait until your next period starts and then start your pack that day. Meanwhile of course use some other form of protection.
