dancer67 Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 My daughter has to go on b/c pills due to ovarian cysts almost every month. She was told to start them on the sunday after her period starts. What if she gets her period ON a Sunday? Does she start that day, or wait until the following Sunday? Thanks!

justasque Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 Read the literature that comes with them. It will probably address your question, plus give you lots of useful info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mergath Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 I'd wait until the following Sunday. I've never been super strict about starting mine on a Sunday, though. I'm terrible at remembering to restart mine- which I take to treat PCOS- and I've started them on all different days, any number of days after my period, with no ill effects.

Allearia Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 My doc said to start them that same day if you start on a Sunday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dancer67 Posted December 1, 2011 Author Share Posted December 1, 2011 I have read you should start on Sunday if you get your period on Sunday??? There was nothing in the pack about it. I only read a few things online. Maybe I should call the pedi to make sure? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the internet, if you ask a question with two possible options, you'll still come away with seven different answers. :tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ailaena Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 I would call.

Cinder Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 My doc said to start them that same day if you start on a Sunday. Mine, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carrie12345 Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 Call and ask. That said, I seem to remember the non-Sunday start routine to begin on the first day of your period. So, I'd think that starting on a Sunday AND day 1 would be fine. ETA: It's been years since I took bc pills, so what do I know? I'm avoiding dishes.

chepyl Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 I think I always just started on the first day of my period....then I changed the day of the week stickers in the pack to line up correctly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dancer67 Posted December 1, 2011 Author Share Posted December 1, 2011 Yep. The office said if she starts her period on a Sunday, to start the pill on that Sunday. And hey, at least someone got a signature line out of this:D Thanks ladies:grouphug: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
