Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about this sudden onset of menses.

I will suggest that you take the pills as recommended. Remember the first pill has to be taken on the first day of menses. If your menses start earlier and confirmed to be so, I will suggest that you start a new pack so that the first pill coincides with the first day of menses for convenience.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thank you so much for using our services and do feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
