Birth Control Question

Helmink0804

Would any if you ladies know if my period stopped today and the dr told me to start my birth control the first Sunday after my next period if that would count today or next Sunday?

If your period had started when you saw your doctor and the doc knew it, then I'd say wait for the next one. Otherwise I think you could start today.

I saw him last week and it started this week and yesterday was the last day of bleeding.

Edited bc my finger kept hitting "I" instead of "o" for the word of!

I think you're good to start today, then.

Another question: I either read it or my dr told me- can't remember which, but to wait a week after taking the pill to go without a condom, true or false?

Use back up the whole first month is what I've always been told.

I always recommend one full cycle but I've had a gynecologist tell me 2 weeks of alternative birth control is fine.
