Should I Start Birth Control Tablets After My Periods Due To Plan B?
Ok so I took plan b on Monday and 2 days after that I had an appoiment to get birth control so I went to get the pills and I told my nurse taht I had taken plan b recently and she told me to wait until my next period starts which wasn t until 3 weeks and then she told me to start the pills after my period was over.its been 3 days since I got the pills and I ready got my period which is an effect of plan b. So do I go ahead and start taking the pills after its done or should I wait until my period is back on cycle

Hi, I think you can start the birth control pills from day 1 to day 5 of your periods now. You need not wait for the next periods. Hope I have answered your question.
