I'm about to start Estrostep. And I have a question that I forgot to ask the doctor. (which I'm prob gonna call anyway) She said to start taking them the first sun after I start my period. Even if I start on Sat. Well what if I start on a sun? Do I start taking them that same day or the next sun (I have a tendancy to start on sundays)

Also are there any sexual side effects with this pill? That was another thing I meant to ask. When ever I go to the doctor I have so many questions...and once I get there I completely forget! Thanks.

If you start your period Sunday, start the pill too.

What I was told is that if you start on a Sunday you are less likely to have your period over a weekend. The theory was true for the most part for me but not always.

I am not familiar with the pill you are taking, but you can do a ****** search for that med and get the answer you need I am sure.

Just remember if anything unusual does happen, longer periods, spotting, or anything else concerning you, be sure to call your doc asap.

Best of luck to you.

thanks I'm just so afraid of losing my sex drive. I read all these posts of people who have and I get scared to death. But I've also been reading that each pill affects everyone different. So I guess it's trial and error!
