Starting Birth Control
Posted: 05-05-07 21:57pm

I was just put on Yaz birth control pills and was advised to do the "Sunday start" by my Dr. I'm supposed to start the pack AFTER my period starts on Sunday. I got my period on Friday, so I was all set to start it up on Sunday. So, I took my first pill of my very first pack. The problem is, I actually was thinking it was Sunday and it's Saturday!!! I know my body isn't going to know it's Sat. vs. Sun. but I'd like to be on the right day. Should I just not take my pill tomorrow or should I just continue on with this pack and do it right next month??

Eh, skipping pills isn't advised, however since you've just started I suppose you could. Just remember, you need one full week of properly taken pills in order to be protected.
