When Should I Start Taking Pills After Periods ?
My girlfriend just ended her period on Sept 16th, which was a Thursday, can she start taking birth control pills on the following Sunday? Also, on the pill, will she still receive her period?

hi,
welcome to hcm
thanks for the query
no its already late. she can start the oral contraceptive pills from next cycle.you can take the help of barrier method during this period
it should be taken at the same time each day
If one or more tablets are forgotten for more than 12 hours, contraceptive protection will be reduced.she will not receive when she is on pills.
