I know on a lot of the packets it says ur sposed to take it on the first day of your period (when you first go on it) but does it really matter if you dont...and say u went on it the day ur period finishes or sumthin?

for the contraceptive use it will start geting into your blood stream during your period were they dont think your going to have sex and get pregnant ... which oyu can but its a very VERY small chance lmao and after your period then its allready in your system and working properly

i know the implnat takes 24 hours to work properly no idea for the pills

I thought it was because if you start taking it on the first day of your period, there is no chance you could have already ovulated, and then the hormones taken from that day on are enough to prevent ovulation. If you start it on another day there's a chance you could have already ovulated, or the hormones are not high enough to prevent ovulation, so you need to use another form of protection for the next 7 days.

i have no idea to be quite honest. i avoided the pills but i was geussing as its a hormone it would be simular to implant.
lol... which you can actualy have put in at anytime as it not only prevent ovulation but thins the womb lining to prevent it settling.

I use my pills for both, my periods are shorter, lighter, and virtually pain free and i'm protected against pregnancy. It's great.

Sam - i didn't experience any odd side effects (well, that i'm aware of anyway) My weight, libido etc stayed the same. xx

no, it's nothing to do with whether or not they "think" you will have sex, plenty of people (myself included :rolleyes:

) have sex when they are on.

If you take it on the first day of your period, you will be protected immediately, because you won't be ovulating when you are menstruating.

If you take it any other time, you should use a barrier method of contraception for 7 days, because you may have just ovulated in which case you could become pregnant. after that time the hormones in the pill will prevent ovulation and therefore pregnancy.

nope, you can start whenever you want! (just bear in mind you're not covered for 7 days!)

I was just wondering, having spoken to a female friend about her going on the pill recently. Is the pill used simply as a prolonged protection against pregnancy... or to alleviate the pain of ovulation and periods and stuff, as I gather such experiences can be really horrible for girls. Sorry, I am just curious...

The pain of ovulation?!

:rolleyes:
