I've just got my first prescription for birth control (Aviane 28), the doctor nor the pharmacist told me when I'm to take my first pill... On the instructions it says to take it on the 1st day, 5th or if I start my period on a Sunday... (I'd prefer to take it on the 1st day). Do I take the normal pill or the "Sugar" pills, when my period starts?
Thanks! :)
Sorry I just realized I've posted this in the wrong discussion.
Hey :)
It doesn't actually matter WHEN you take the first pill. Doctors just say to take it the Sunday before your period so that you can easily keep track of when your supposed to take the other pills. So, take your pills at the same time at each day... I take mine every night before I go to bed so I don't forget. Your period will adjust itself eventually to the cycle you put your body onto. Just make sure that you have taken the pill CORRECTLY for at least SEVEN days before you have unprotected sex... Always use a condom though... better to be safe than sorry. Plus its less messy that way. ;)
Good luck!
