What Time Should Birth Control Pills Taken?
I lost my birth control pack midway through the pack. I stopped taking them for the month and I'm going to start again this month. I get my new pack on the 6th. Is it okay to start taking the pill for this month before I get my period or during my period?

1) Dont start the medicine before periods if you have stopped for more than 3 days.
2) Please wait for periods to start and then start your pack.
