Birth Control


Question Posted Saturday May 30 2009, 4:00 pm

I've been on birth control regularly for about 2 years and it is very vital that i am on it. Anyway, my refills were about to expire and i was actually at the doctors a week before they did so i asked if she could refill them, she printed me out the re-fill sheet and gave it to me but she regularly faxes it over so i assumed she faxed one over and then just gave me a copy. so when it came time to go get a new pack, i called the pharmacy and they said i had no refills so i had to go pick up the sheet at the doctors and by the time i was able to do that, it was thursday and i'm supposed to start the new pack on sundays. Soo basically my question is do i have to wait to get my period until i can start up my birth control again or think i will be okay if i can just start the pack on this upcoming sunday? Thanks!

My birth control packet says to start either on day one of your period, or on the Sunday during your period. Unless you're on a radically different form, every pill I've heard of is the same way. I'd call your doctor first, but if you can't, just follow the directions the pills come with. Better to be safe than sorry.


For future situations like this, ask your doctor for a sample pack, to keep on hand, so that you don't ever run out.
