| Re: when to start pill?
I think this is better answered by your doctor. I don't think any of us could give you a proper answer.
Nevertheless, If I had to take a guess, I would say it was a bad idea to take it a week after your period. The reason why they have to start either the day of or the Sunday after your period, is to keep your cycle more-or-less on the same schedule. When you start taking the pill at the wrong time, it can lead to a number of strange side effects, such as breakthrough bleeding, spotting, and any other weird things. That's why I personally wouldn't advise it.
I think you should definitely ask your doctor. If he/she says it's ok, then fine, but just know that the potention for weird effects to occur as a result is there, and don't be at all surprised if you experience those weird effects.
