So, I'm new to taking birth control pills, and I'm totally lost in when to start the first pill.
I previously took YAZ and my doctor said to start it the Sunday my period STARTS. So I did, but then because of that, I bled for a month straight >.< So I stopped taking that birth control pill. My doctor (a different one) now put me on Microgestin, and she told me to start it on the first day my period starts. I told her that I did that with my other birth control and thus it lead me to bleed for a month. She was like, "Maybe the birth control did. But you need to follow my directions seeing I've done this for a long time now." But my friends who are on birth control took them on a day they were not bleeding. So, my question: Should I still take my birth control pill on the first day of my period which will most likely make me bleed for a month, again? OR should I just say f**k that, and start on a day I'm not bleeding? I'm confused! lol Thanks. |

Well, when I started mine, I was told to take it the first sunday of the month.
![]() I've never heard of bc making you bleed for a month straight, so your doctor may be right when they said it was probably just the YAZ. |
