Q: how long till am protected if i started my birth control mini pill ( incassia) on third day of period?

: Your post is confusing. If this the 1st time using the pill, many OBGYNs suggest a backup form of birth control for the first month, until your body is well adapted to the pill. If you have been on it for many months or are switching pills, it likely doesn't matter. You may want to confer with the doc who knows all the facts.
