General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hi,

You should start with white pills which are 21 in quantity and then 7 brown tablets, during which bleeding usually occurs.

These pills have a success rate of around 99% so you need not worry. However, to be 100% sure you can use the barrier method like a condom.

The pills will work from the very next day of starting it. You can continue a 28-day cycle as long as you don't want to get pregnant.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
