Maybe should be in health I'm not sure.

I've tried the leafdlet but I threw it ut and cant find anything I turst on the net about this but am I right in thinking that no matter where you are in your cycle if you start taking the pill correctly a week later youre protected?

Maybe I should ask the FPA??

Former Member

yep as long as you've been taking it 7 days straight you're covered, no matter when you started taking it.

i kept my leaflet :razz:

Former Member

Yup. Week of taking it properly and your fine. If you do it that way sometimes takes til the next cycle for your period to settle down though.

Former Member

Ah well I'm on now and if I remeber correctly if you take iot within the first 5days of your period your covered straight away??

I'm so silly

I thought it was the first day.....

Could be wrong though, check the packet, ring fpa, or err on the side of caution for 7 days and then you're definitely fine (that's what I'd do).

it has to be on the first day of your period for you to be covered straight away, if not you're not covered until you've been taking it for 7 days.
