Brief Answer:
It would not affect the onset of your menses!
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.
should you start the pills today, there would be no effect on your menses tomorrow. They usually need to be taken at least 3days before the expected start date of menses for the to have any effect on the next menstrual dates. If I may ask, why would you want to start them today? These medications are generally started on the first day of menses. Wait for your menses to start before you start the medications if they are purely for contraceptive purposes.
I hope this addresses your query fully. I wish you well. Thank you so much for using our services and do feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.

Hi,
Thank you for the response - I had received some advice that if you wanted to use it for contraceptive purposes but your menses were going to start that you could begin taking the pill beforehand in order to avoid getting your menses - I did some online research and found a site that referred to avoiding your menses, it indicated that this is not harmful in any way to your body - I wanted to ask a doctor about it first - was the advice I received correct? Was the information on the website I found also correct?
