I was on the depo injection but they took me off it about four months ago due to age etc. I had a very light period about two months ago but nothing since. I got the Noriday pill yesterday from my gp but forgot to ask him when should I start taking it as I have no period, I'm definatly not pregnant. Does anyone know?

TIA

If you have no period then I would just start taking it now. I went on the pill because I was going 8 months or so between periods, so I knwo I can't have waited until a certain part of my cycle.

My dr has put me on this and said to start taking it when I'm ready, but to consistently take it at the same time everyday otherwise it will not work. You do not have a 7 day break with these either, you continually take them.
They take about 10-12 days before you are protected.
