Q: Start Pill a Week Early

I just got orthotricyclen lo from my doctor yesterday and told me to start it on the 27th, the sunday before my shot ran out. But is there any serious problem with starting it this sunday (a week early)? Would it lead to any bad happenings?

Sorry this post took so long. I really don't know if anything "bad" would happen, but your body would be overloaded with hormones. I would just wait. Why take the chance?
