Hi,
Hormonal contraceptives can be started any day of the month. For the first seven days, use another contraceptive method like condoms. This is because the contraceptives may not be fully effective before that period. Continue the pill for 21 days and allow withdrawal bleeding to occur. Now you can restart the pack again if required.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
