^ are you sure about that? because i think you have to take the pill for one cycle for there to be enough hormones for it to protect you.

Sonia, I was on Yasmin. I found it worked best for me because its one of those low dose combo pills so it has estrogen and progesterone both instead of too much of one or the other. you really won’t know how you respond to it until you try it.

If you start taking the pill at the first day of ur cycle (which means ur 1st day of periods), ur protected from that day on. This is because during ur periods, there is no ovulation.
If you start at any other day you need to take the pill 7 days in a row, without missing it and at regular timings… this should provide protection..so after these 7 days there is full protection. During these 7 days its advisable to use extra protection such as condoms.

If a woman just starting the pill begins taking them within five days of the beginning of her menstrual cycle (the menstrual cycle begins on the first day of red bleeding), she will have pregnancy protection from the very first pill. If a woman begins taking the pill at another time in her menstrual cycle, she must use a different form of contraception for seven days.

*this should be only the first day of beginning of menstrual cycle
