I am not sure if you are asking about age or time. I would suggest that if a young woman is sexually active or has a physical problem with her period that any time in her teens is a good age to start. In reference to time I would say at the start of a new cycle and one or two days at the end of a period.

I just started the pill recently. I was bleeding heavily like I was on my period for the entire first month. My doc switched me and I'm still bleeding. It sucks. You should talk to your doctor if you bleed heavily because the blood loss could make you anemic.

My friend who started about the same time is not having much spotting but the pills does make her very emotional/moody.

Simple - follow the written instructions that came with this doctor prescribed medication. You must follow all the directions to-the-letter for the best effect.

After finishing the last pack, the Sunday after your period starts, or when your doctor tells you to.

If you are confused please call your doctor or pharmacist.
