I went to the gyno, and she put me on Loestrin 24. She told me to start that day, and it was about 3 weeks after I'd started my last period. So I started it that day, and about a week and a half later (after taking the pill every day) I started bleeding, and I realized I was just having my regular period because I'd started the bc too late for it to be effective.
I looked into bc's effectiveness and saw that for it to be effective immediately I should take it the first day of my period. So I kept taking the pills in my first pack for a couple of days and then started a new pack (while still on my period) after reading that info.
So is this okay to do? And will the bc still be effective?
