Wondering if anyone can help me!? My boyfriend and I have always just used condoms and I'm now desperate to get onto the pill! I was prescribed Yasmin today, and am wondering when I can ideally start using it. I'm due my period in a couple of days, but I'm not in a hurry to be protected over this time, as that's a sex free few days anyway! Just everywhere I read, I'm told to take the pill on the first day of my menstrual cycle so I'm protected over this time. Is it okay to just take it in a weeks time, when this months period is finished? Hope this makes sense because I really need other women's help and n ot just another computer! Thank you.

I'm curious as to why you would opt to wait, rather than just take it on day 1 of your period? By taking it on day 1 of your period, you will be protected by the time your period is over.

Whoever said anything was possible obviously never tried slamming a revolving door.
Right, so by taking it the day my period starts, by the time my period ends I'll be okay to have unprotected sex? Do I just take the one on the first day and then no more until my period is finished, or take them for the full 21 days? Hope I'm making sense here? Just don't want to damage my body or anything by taking it when I shouldn't!
You need to take them every day from the day you start. So, if you start on day 1 of your period, you need to take it every day of your cycle, day 2, day 3, day 4, etc. Also, you need to take it as close to the same time as possible. Set an alarm on your phone as a reminder.

Okay thank you for your help! I'll start my new pack on Day 1 and run through all the way to Day 21 then stop for 7 days, then repeat. Thank you so much! You've taken a massive weight off my shoulders!
The pill works via continuously supplying your body with hormones. You must take it correctly for it to work.
It's suggested to start the pills on Day 1 (or the first Sunday of) your period so that it won't throw your cycle out of whack.
Great help guys! Thank you!
