Birth Control Help

[Hola002]

Over the Christmas break I stopped taking my pills because my clinic and pharmacy was having some problems.The fist time I got on my pills I did the Sunday method and took my pill @ 7:30 pm every night.... I just don't remember how I started it. So now i got on Thursday but this is my second time this month my period which I'm very confused about my period ends the following Wednesday I'm not sure if I should've started my pills this Sunday or the following Sunday and if I'll be able to change the time I take my pills.

[ummmm]

What pill are you taking? Do you take a weeks break?

[Dizmo]

Given your previous post, can you tell us which 'pills' you are, or were, taking.

Sqad might be able to help, however you need to be a little more specific.

[Dizmo]

Ummmm: pah, you got there first :0. Toodles, love you! xx

[ummmm]

Diz :-) xxx

[ummmm]

I would be inclined to carry on taking the pill without a break until your periods regulate.

[Sqad]

I am going to assume that you are taking oestradiol/progesterone pill, in which case take it on the Sunday after the end of your period...this Sunday.

[Hola002]

I've been taking a birth control called orsythia for about a year but do to the confusion with my clinic and pharmacy I had to stop because of how many pills I've missed so know since I got my period I get to take them after my period ends I just don't know when to start them.

[ummmm]

Start them on the first day of your period.

[Sqad]

Orsythia is an oestradiol/progesterone tablet so, take it on the Sunday following the beginning of your period.........this Sunday.

[ummmm]

All the pills I've ever taken over the years I've been told to start a pack on the first day of my period (assuming your periods are regular)

If your periods are not regular pick a day but use other precautions for the first month.

Yes, like ummmm says, start them on the first day of your period if possible. You don't have to-just take extra precautions for 7 days if you're not sure.

[Hola002]

I think I'll go with sqad's answer because the package always starts on Sunday. But thank you all so much !

[pixie373]

Yes- but take extra precautions for 7 days- or you'll be asking him to be godfather x

[Dizmo]

How do I say this without causing offense? I can't.

Hola002: You've had advice from 3 people, two of which are female and the other a retired doctor.

If I was a betting man, I'd suggest you listen to the women - they know what they're talking about.

[Hola002]

I'm on the 5th day of my period will I even be able to take them now ? I don't want to wait till my next period that's why I say that a Sunday would make much more sense Hence to why the first pill in the package starts on a Sunday.

[pixie373]

You don't have to wait- just be careful for another week. They all start on a Sunday. Is there a break?

[ummmm]

Like Pixie says....just start taking them. It doesn't have to be on a Sunday, just take extra precautions.

[Sqad]

For God's sake Hola.......go with the women and save all the "whinging".

I couldn't care less.

[Dizmo]

Sqad: If you didn't care, you wouldn't of bothered answering. I think you've been a tad hurtful there.
