Is It Considered Sunday Or Monday? Posted: 08-15-06 23:27pm
I know theres probably not one guy in this
forum hahah but I dont reallly care. Me
and my girlfriend have a question. She
just started takin birth control. She was
waiting for her period so she could start
taking it but it came when she was
sleeping on a sunday night. So when she
woke up at like 12:30-1:00 at
night(technically monday) she found out
she got it. So is that considered a
sunday or monday? She said if its sunday
then she has to wait till next period and
if its monday she can take it this coming
sunday. What should she do?

She can start taking the pills any day of
the week she wants to. I personally
started my period on a monday, so that's
when I started the pills. Some packs
come with a sicker you can insert to
change what day the pills are labled as.
Sunday is just used as an easy day to
remember. Whatever day she starts her
period is the day she should begin the
pills, whether it is sunday, monday, or
thursay :) just remember what days she
starts on, put it on the calendar, and log
each week. Then every month she'll start
on the same day, monday after monday.
However, you can technically start the
pills anytime; but if you don't start them
the day her period starts, then she won't
be protected for about 1-2 weeks (some
people say a whole month, so you could
always use condoms just in case). Since
it's tuesday, what have you guys done?

Okay well she was telling me that she has
to wait for her period. Maybe cuz of what
you said about being protected the
longest. But she didnt take them even on
monday cuz she didnt know what to do. So
now what? We have to wait for her next
period? We havent done anything cuz we
didnt wanna risk anything

No, like I said, you do not have to wait
fir her next period. She can wait until
next sunda if she wishes, or she could
start the pills today if she wants. Just
be sure that she knows which day she
starts on and she'll be fine. Also, does
she have her period right now? I think
she'd be protected right off the bat, but
just to be safe, you should use condoms
for the first week or so. I used condoms
my first whole month lol.
