Birth control question?
-
I had my period about 3 weeks ago. I have been actively taking birth control for over a year, however I did not take birth control this month due to insurance reasons. Now I have my birth control back, but have not taken it since before my last period. Should I start taking it now, or what until I have my period? Should I take it the first day of my period, or the last? And how long does it take for the birth control to be "active"? My husband and I have obstained from sex during this time, so pregnancy is not an issue, however I would like to know how long I will have to take it for it to be active. My obgyn is closed today, and I just wanted to know if anyone had insight on this. Thank you!

Answer:
It depends on the type of birth control. Most birth controls are recommended to take after a period either in a sunday or monday. with the pill you start it on the day you start. it take a minium of 24 hours to take affect but i would give it a full 7 days on the safe side. this is just from me taking birth control from my experiences. your obgyn should have an on call or 24 hour help line.
