Hello! I know you are supposed to start taking BCP on the first day of your period. I am waiting to start mine (hopefully soon!) and I just wondered what will happen when you do this? If you take your first active pill on the first day of your period, will you period be normal? As long as usual? Or will it stop after a pill or two?

Also, off topic, but does anyone know if alcohol of any kind affects BCP?

Once again, thanks!
