A member asked:

Can take oral contraceptive on 3rd day of menses?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Probably yes.: If you are using the sunday start method of your birth control pills (starting sunday after your period starts), you may even be beyond day 3 of your period when this occurs. You may want to consider using condoms for this first cycle in addition to bcp.
