Last time I started right in the middle but I did get a lot of breakthrough bleeding (I have since heard many women mention this on Yasmin) but I wondered if it was better to start on the first day of your period or something. I did get the bleeding all the way through the protocol off and on and although I can put up with it; it was a pain.

Then start right in on the active pills only and keep taking those without the placebo from then on.

So I'm on day 5 now so should I just finish this cycle and then start the protocol when my period starts again?

That is when I started and I had no breakthrough bleeding on Yasmin. When you do fertility treatments they have you start BCP's on day 5. And that is about when you would start a new pack if you were taking pills regularly. Jennifer

My routine last time was to take dom in the morning as soon as i got up so on empty stomach, dom around 2-3 pm, bcp around 9pm with dom or dom shortly after with a baby aspirin chaser! LOL What do you think? I know some people split up the dom into four lots but Dr Newman said you could do 3x3 a day versus 4x2. I know I did this for 7 months and I can't believe I'm nervous again.
