she was proscribed this pill to control and regularize her periods. she has irregular and improper periods. she used have periods generally after every 7-8 days with very less bleeding.

Hello
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
No, it is not proper or advisable to start the pill from day, as it is too late this month, and will lead to undesirable side effects.
Please skip this month, and restart as per proper schedule from next month onwards, after next period.
All the best.
