 As far as I was aware you need to have a period first, take the pill on the first day and then continue all the way through. You might find tha taking the pill will stop this first period a bit, and then just carrying taking it to delay the next one. Ive never used it to take it before a period to stop it, so would presume that you start taking straight off and carry on through, but there are no guarnatees as we all vary, so some may still have intermittent bleeding in between or some spotting.
