You can either start BCP on the first day of your period or on Sunday. If you start on Sunday, you will need to use a back-up birth control for at least seven days. The information that comes with pills says seven days of back-up birth control. Back in the day, when I first started BCP, my doctor told me to use back-up for the first month... but that was almost 10 years ago.

I'm a Sunday starter mostly because I take pills that are in four rows, one row per week. I am easily confused and I think of the begining of the week is Sunday. (I even have trouble with calanders that show Monday as the first day of the week.) If your pills are aranged in a circle or if you are less easily confused as me, there isn't really a reason to wait until Sunday.

I just recently went back on the pill after being off it for a month.
I used to get excruciating periods before I started the pill 2 years ago. I would vomit, shiver, I'd get so weak and I'd have to stay in bed for two days straight.
The main reason I started on the pill was to alleviate the pain, along with it's obvious BC purposes.
Ever since I have been on the pill my period have been great. I get a bit of cramping a couple days before, and mild cramping the first day, then from then on I'm fine.
When I took a month off, I got my killer kramps back again and dear god I'm never doing that again. Thank god for the pill.
