Hi,
Kindly do not worry. OCP can be started on any day.The effectiveness may decrease based on when it is started,otherwise it can be taken any day. A gap of seven days should be given before taking the next month tablets.You will have withdrawal bleeding during this time.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
