Do i have to wait until next period to start birth control??

Asked by collegegirl09 5 months ago, 2 answers.

Ok here's the deal! I just went to the doctors and got prescribed birthcontrol. The doctor told me to wait until my next period to begin taking the pill. I am getting married in july and want the pills to be in my system before I have sex (first time...

will be wedding night)...the doctor said it takes about 2 wks to get in your system. If I wait until my next period (since mine are irregular a lot of times) it may not come until the end of june (and I have already had mine for may) therefore it may not be enough time to get in my system. Do I have to wait until my next period (eps. Since I am not having sex) or can I start taking them now...so that they are in my system?? Thanks.

follow the doctors advice - it's quite a sensitive system and you don't want to pernamently disrupt it

Follow doctor's advice... And if you read the paper that comes with the pills, that's where it should say when to start and I can guarantee it will be the same
