Why do they say you’re supposed to start birth control pills the day you start your period?

Q: Why do they say you’re supposed to start birth control pills the day you start your period? What would happen if I started earlier or the 2nd day of my period?

A: There are two kinds of birth control pills: the kind you start on day 1 of your period and the kind that you start the Sunday after your period starts. Both kinds prevent pregnancy by preventing ovulation (ovaries releasing an egg) and you have to take them correctly to get this protection. If you started it early or late, you are risking incorrectly matching up your natural hormones and the birth control hormones. Check with the doctor if you goof up.

When I start birth control on my period day should this happen?

Q: It was my first time using birth control ever. I started it on Thursday the 22nd. That was the first day of my period. They told me to start the day I start my period. I then ended my period like one or two days after. Is that normal to have that short of a period? Or should I be concerned?

A: Well did you start with a white pill or a brown pill?The brown pills are your period pills they supplement the nutrients you lose during your period.The white pills are what you take to keep your period from coming – it regulates you so you know that when you get to your brown pills thats when your period starts.If you took the brown ones on that first day and your period still started then I dont know what happened? LoL Sometimes thats just your bodies reaction to something new!
