Usually, they tell you to start taking your Birth Control WHILE you have your period, because your protection from getting pregnant starts immediately. If you start taking it at any time while you aren't on your period, then you are not protected for 30 days after you take the first pill. It doesn't matter when you start, but keep in mind to use extra protection for the first month.
