Or you can start on the first day of your period and then you don't need a backup. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/starting-up-the-pill-again#post-2646839 Wed, 02 Nov 2016 14:31:28 +0000 kiddosc 2646839@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It is ok, but it won't be effective right away. I want to say it's like 10-15 days that you need to use a back-up birth control. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/starting-up-the-pill-again#post-2646824 Wed, 02 Nov 2016 14:00:48 +0000 hellobeeboston 2646824@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm starting back on the Pill again after MANY years off of it. I forget how it works haha.</p> <p>I just had my first period in 2 years after finishing up breastfeeding, it ended last Friday, based on timing, i wanted to start my new pill (tri-phasic, what I used to take for about 13 years) this sunday.</p> <p>My question is - is that OK that I'm waiting a full week after my period is ending to start taking it?? </p>
