Hi,

You can start the pill on any day of the cycle and it is not necessary to wait for first day of period. Continue the pill for the prescribed period and allow a pill free period to get your withdrawal bleeding. For the first seven days, use an extra method of contraception. Initially, irregular periods can occur with the use of pills since your body needs time to adjust to the hormonal changes. Bleeding will regularise in the subsequent cycles.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Saranya Ramadoss, General & Family Physician
