hey everyone.
this may seem silly, but im STILL confused, even after trying to find answers on the message boards:

I usually take my pill at night, (start on Sunday) and was wondering how i would go about changing it to an ealier time, like 5 or 6pm instead of like 9pm like i have been doing for about 3 months now. I find that when my period comes and my pack is finished, im waiting until like the 3rd day that im not taking any pills for it to actually come..is this normal?

Also, this may sound silly but, how soon after you start using the pill can you have sex and it will be "safe." do you need to wait to let it "kick-in"? im just confused, and nervous about not doing somthing right!

sorry for so many questions! and thank-you :)
