Starting bemfola after period finishes??

Hoping someone can help. I'm on short protocol so it'll be alongside my natural cycle. I have to take noristherone to bring on a a bleed so they can control my cycle. They then have me starting bemfola 8 days after this. Im rather confused as during the consent process the video gave me the impression I would be starting bemfola early in my cycle during a bleed.
To me this made sense as isn't your dominant follicle already chosen by day 5? Will it be successful in recruiting more follicles at that stage? I guess it confuses me as prior to this I took clomid and I had to take it early to stimulate follicles before dominant was chosen. I've spoke to others on here and everyone else seems to he taking it early on a bleed. I'm very confused and I spoke to nurses and they aren't giving me clarity. Their response didn't clear anything up.

@XStardustX I would get the bleed 3-5 days after stopping norethisterone and then start stims on CD2-3. So given you'll have a few days until the bleed you will probably be on the same timescale.
