Dr. Shanahan, Thanks for answering my question. But I am already past the sunday or 5 days after my period stared. It started 11 days ago. Can I still start the pill now, will it help? A friend said she started the pill the day of her period and the period stopped. Should I wait till I'm due to start on the 21st? I really don't want to be having my period on the 25th. What is my best chance of making that happen?Thanks again. >
