Do you HAVE to start taking the pill on the first day of your period?
I want to start taking the pill again and was planning to go to the gynecologist next week to get the prescription (I had my annual check-up just 3 months ago and she said that if I need the pill again, I can get the prescription anytime).
Unfortunately, the gynecologist's opening hours aren't compatible with the times I have time, so I haven't had a chance to go yet and, as I said, I was planning to do it next week.
But now I got my period today and it says on the internet that you should start taking the pill on the first day of your period.
Does this mean that I have to wait another month before I can start or can I start next week without any problems?

Hello Lelolach
If you take the first pill on the first day of the period (you have 24 hours) then protect it immediately, take it at another time then you must additionally prevent the first 7 days. At the pill Qlaira 9 days. It’s also in the package.
If one takes the first pill at a different time than in the first 1-5 days of the period, there may be an increased risk of myomas, cysts or intermediate bleeding. Therefore, only the days 1-5 are written in the package leaflets.

Hi Lelolach,
you can also start taking them a week later. Of course, problemless is always relative, since you artificially influence your body by taking hormones. Because you’re a smoker, and now you’re no longer the youngest, you’ll increase your risk of thrombosis. But you have to bring victims. There are no problems. Of course depends on what you’re doing. The protection against unwanted pregnancy would of course no longer be given in the case, no.
lg up
I’m not really a smoker. I smoke a cigarette a day while others smoke a pack a day.
Besides, I’m not exactly 25 years old.
It was just a tip. I don’t interfere with your health, I don’t care. :
It’s very rough: when you start with the pill on the first day of the rule, you are also protected from pregnancy from the first day of taking. If you start later, then you are only protected after at least one week, so MINDESTENS must in any case additionally prevent. Whether a week is enough, you can read in the package leaflet. In general, the answers to these questions are usually included.
So I also have the pill but I can never put it off because otherwise it can be that I get 3 months through the period… And I don’t get a period. Except if I set it up, it can be that I get pregnant and I don’t want it.
But in your case, it would be useful to talk to your gynecologist when you should take her back.
Then she wouldn’t be safe and the one month would almost be wasted. So wait.
No after 7-9 days it is safe
Without exception, any pill reliably protects from the first day of taking if you start on the first day of menstruation (within 24 hours).
Expecting the period is recommended, among other things, to exclude an existing pregnancy, to suppress the ovaries from the start and thus to guarantee immediate protection.
You can also start taking day 2-5 of the cycle, but then you have to apply additional contraceptive agents (e.g. a condom) on the first 7 (at Qlaira 9) days.
This information can be found in 3. Section of the package insert“How to take XY?”under“Start taking off – If no hormonal contraceptive agent has been applied in the previous month”.
Even if this is not possible or not desired, you can also start on another day if you are not pregnant. A sufficient protection has then been established for each pill after 7 (or 9) days (“Quick Start Method”).
Commission Regulation (EU) No 648/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 11 December 2012 on the common organisation of the market in milk and milk products (OJ L 347, 20.12.2012, p. 1).
Then you also need to prevent 7 days in addition with condom or just for a week to give up sex.
Some women’s doctors recommend that additional contraception be dispensed with only after a few weeks, because the user may have to get used to regular, punctual intake, or even at the wrong time with the erosion is started, or severe diarrhea can occur as a side effect – all things that endanger the conception protection.
Happy for you!
I have to give up sex for a week anyway. My friend studies 2 hours away and we’ll see the next weekend, so that’s not a problem.
