If you start your period on Sunday should you wait till next Sunday to start birth control?
If you plan to be a "Sunday starter" then the general rule would be that you should start your pack the Sunday after your period, or on the same day your period starts if your period starts on Sunday. For example, if you get your period on Friday you should still take the pill starting on Sunday, even if you still have your period. However, if you got your period on a Sunday you should start your pack that day. However, starting the birth control pill in the first five days of menstrual bleeding gives you immediate protection. Starting on Sunday has disadvantages. Traditionally, women in the US started the birth control pill on Sunday. This has an obvious disadvantage - your health care provider's office is closed on Sunday, and many women start their pill late when they notice too late that they're out of pills. Do yourself a favor and consider starting on a weekday, as they do in most other countries.
If i started my period on Thursday and i am starting birth control for the first time this Sunday when should i expect my next period?
You will begin your period the next month as usual, except more on target. you are supposed to start the birth control the first Sunday after you get your period, so you are doing it right.
If you were instructed to start taking birth control the first Sunday after the start of your next period and your period started on Monday when should you start the birth control?
The next Sunday. __________________________ With Sunday start, you're supposed to start on the Sunday of getting your period, or the following Sunday. For example: You start your period on Sunday : START YOUR BC. You start your period Wednesday... WAIT TIL SUNDAY TO START. **make sure to read the inserts that come with your birth control, or go to the manufacturers website, the information is there for a reason!

Have not had a period since starting birth control. Is it bad that to start the pill the Sunday before starting your period and end up not having a period for a month in a half?
No it is normal for some women to not have their period at all while on the pill. Some only have one every other month. So don't be considered. But it you think you my be pregnant, take a pregnancy test to make sure.

Am I still protected if I didn't start the pill the Sunday after or the first day of my period?
If you're asking about hormonal birth control (i.e. pills, etc), I would assume you'd be less protected for a period of time (usually one cycle) because there's a possibility you may have already ovulated by mid-cycle. Birth control wouldn't help much if there's already an egg floating around in there!

You can but this will mess up your cycle and you wont be protected fully. Continue taking your pills as prescribed.
