Birth Control Pill


Question Posted Monday May 22 2006, 9:34 am

Okay, I went to my doctor and was prescribed with "Levlen ED"

I want to startusing it now, but i was told to startwhen i get my periods.

I havent had my period for about 5-6 weeks now and i hadnt had sex since january but recently had it on the 19th of this month, i also had sex last night and he thinks the condom broke.

Is there a way i can start using the pill now without having to wait for my period to come? I know if i fell pregnant from a broken condom its not going to fix it, but i just want to start using this pill so my periods get in order :<

im extremely confused and i dont know what to do :<

You could be pregnant now, and if you take the Pills while pregnant then you risk birth defects. Wait until your period and for goodness sake use anther form of protection until then. Isn't that the point of birth control? To avoid pregnancy?

You have to wait until after your next period to start the pills and then they aren't fully effective until you've been using them for 3+ months.

wait for your period for the morning after pill, if you think the condom split.
if you still havn't come onto your period and are worried, visit your gp for advice

Wait for your period. It might not be as convenient for you right now, but screwing around with hormones and birth control can seriously reduce how effective it is.

The Pill should ALWAYS be started within 6 days of the start of a period, that way it is effective immediately. If the Pill is started at other times, it wont be effective, either as birth control or at regulating your period for a whole month (one pack basically).

Beyond on that, if by some chance you did become pregnant from a broken condom recently you certainly should not take an oral contraceptive unless it is one of those awful Morning-After ones. It will say so right on the box of your pills that women with known or suspected pregnancy should not take the pill, it could harm the fetus and you.

So listen to your doctor and wait for you period.
