Question: I have never taken the pill, but would like to. How do I get started?

Answer:I would highly recommend that you speak to your GP or visit a family planning clinic. Your doctor will need to assess whether anything in your medical history or family medical history would prevent you from taking the pill. In addition, a face-to-face consultation will allow your doctor to talk through how you should take your pill and any side-effects you may experience, and of course allow you to ask any questions related to the pill. It is now common practice to take your first pill on the first day of your period. This will give you immediate protection against unwanted pregnancy.
