You have to wait to take it til the Sunday after you start your period so that it can properly regulate your period. This way you are sure to have your period every 28 days.

AnswerYou don't, you can start the pill any day of the week.

If your period starts on a Monday, start taking the pill then. The only reason for starting on a Sunday is that the packet starts on a Sunday so you start at the beginning of a packet and work through to the end. Many women find this helps them remember and they don't have to go back to the beginning of the packet to take the last few pills. However if you find it easy to remember start at the beginning of your period, then you are protected from pregnancy immediately, just make sure you take all the pills in the packet.
