You start the first pack on the first day of your menstrual period or the first Sunday after the onset of your period but don't start them until you have your period! If your period is late and you have had sex, you need to go get a pregnancy test. You don't want to take this medicine if you are pregnant. They often can't tell when examining you in the very early stages if you are pregnant. I went to get on the pill before my last son was born but I never started my period-I was already pregnant. I'm not saying this is what is going on in your case, sometimes your period can be late just from the careful anticipation of it. Once you know for sure you are not pregnant your period may start.
I don't agree. I worked in a family planning clinic (I an an RN) advising women how to use the pill and other forms of birth control and we ALWAYS had women start either the day menses start or the first Sunday following start. The reason for this is if a woman has been impregnated during the past weeks since her last period the examinig healthcare professional is totally unable to tell if a woman is pregnant! You DO NOT want to start the pill if you are pregnant. I know this to be a fact, as you can read above, I was approximately 2 weeks pregnant at my exam with my youngest. The Dr examining me was unable to tell on examination. It is too early to see changes in the cervix or palpate the embryo in the womb-it is no more than a tiny ball of cells at this point. If you start the pill and you are pregnant you risk fetal abnormalities.
