When to start the pill
| Fri, 05-11-2007 - 10:35pm |
Hey,
I have recently been given the Tri-cyclen pill but have not yet started taking it. I was told by the doctor to start the first sunday after i begin my period and by the pharmacist to take it 5 days after starting my period. My doc said the main reason for the 1st sunday was that i would never have a period on a weekend lOl is that the only difference? The pharmacist said it was actually more accurate to take it five days after starting, but the instructions in the package state three different ways the pill can be started without an explanation of the differences. Does anyone know anything about this?
Thanks
- Steph
