Q: Confused About When to Start Taking Bc Pills!

On alesse’s information it says you can start taking the pills the fifth day of your period. I really want to start taking them (haven’t started yet) on a thursday because I know from experience it’s the only day that will allow me to not have a period on the weekend (i’d end up getting it around late sunday or early monday). However the fifth day of my current period, if it even lasts that long, will be a wednesday (and I don’t know what it will be next month). But I still really want to take my pills on a thursday. Ahh this was way less complicated with tri cyclen... So should I just take them on that day even if it’s not the fifth day of my period? My period doesn’t even usually last 5 days anyway!

Just start on the first day of ur period instead and then from ur entry that sounds like a sunday. Then the next month start taking the only take the sugar pills till the thursay and start the next pack a few days earlier. Then ur all sorted out. I dont know it might be diff days so u would have to play around I start my new pack on sat and then get my period from mon-fri mornin.

That's kind of like what I did for tri cyclen. I went on the sunday start and then after a while (when I couldn't put up with my periods on the weekend. You don't need that in a ldr) took a new pack a few days early. My period started on saturday this month but i'm not sure what it will be next since i'm not quite regular yet. I always get my period within the last 3-4 days of the sugar pills. Well thanks. I just wasn't sure if I alesse works the same as tri cyclen so I didn't know if I could do the same thing.
