Hi, I visited my family clinic last night and was prescribed cerazette as my contraceptive. I seem to remember the nurse told me I could start immediately so I took the first pill last night, however I read the leaflet and it said to wait until my next period starts to commence taking them.  My question is should I stop and wait for my period to start, or should I just carry on no I have started? I am normally really irregular with my cycles and at present not in risk of pregnancy
Hello and welcome, Your concern is very valid. Thanks for asking us. Cerazette can be started on the first day of period, but this is not compulsory. You can start it on any day but will need to use another contraception method like condoms for the first 7 days of tablet use. After that the protection will start. So if you have started it continue using it and use condoms for the first 7 days. After that there is no need to use any other method. Hope this answers the query. Thanks for choosing Chat Doctor.
