Hi,
Thanks for your question.
You can start it any time of the cycle since indication for you is not the birth control but cycle regulation. You may experience irregular bleeding during the first few months of it's use but as soon as an artificial cycle is established due to this medicine, you will get good cycle control.
Wish you good health.
