I was prescribed Yasmin (my first form of bc pill) and was told to take it the Sunday after my period starts. I started on the 28th of this month (Thursday). Do I take it tomorrow (Sunday the 1st of July) or NEXT Sunday (the 7th of July)? I was not clear on what she meant by "after". I was too shaken up to ask (after receiving 2 shots during that visit...!) Thank you for your help!

It'll be this sunday! Smile You'll be protected seven days later after you start. This is the only time you have the waiting period; after that, you'll be protected all the time (unless you forget pills or whatever). You will be protected during the placebo week too.
