How can I change the day that I start my birth control pill cycle?


I started taking a generic form of ortho tri cyclen and the pack naturally starts on Sunday so I have been starting my blue pills and my white pills always on Sunday. I would like to change the day to Friday instead of Sunday. How do I go about changing the day?

What you should do if you have a 28 day pill (7 pills, 4 weeks)

On your last week of the pack (inactive pills) instead of waiting till sunday to start your new pack, just start the new pack on the Friday. This is safe and you won't need any back-up protection as long as you don't start the next pack later than 7 days after your last active pill of the first pack.

Sun-Thurs on your last week just take the inactive pills and start a new pack friday. Source(s): I've taken it for a long time.
I would wait until your next period.. you take your blue pills from a sunday to sunday.. I would say take them from sunday, have your period, and start the new pack on friday.. Only 2 days early won't hurt a thing!!!
Shorten the week of reminder pills by starting the next new pack on Friday instead of Sunday. You should still be fully covered, but if it concerns you at all, use condoms for at least the first week.
