You can find the following guide at this site and others:
- You can start taking them on the first day of your period, in which case you won't need backup birth control.
- You can start taking them the Sunday after your period starts, in which case you will need backup birth control for seven days.
- You can start taking birth control pills on the day they are prescribed, in which case you will need to make sure you're not pregnant and you will need to use backup birth control for the first month.
