You will be working at cross purposes with Nature . Every woman has a natural menstrual cycle which is an outside manifestation of the changes in hormone levels which are occurring in your body. The lowest level of both, oestrogen and progesterone are at the time when you get your periods. From that point they start rising.
If you start oral pills in mid-cycle then it will not complement natural hormones but it will go haywire. The result will be irregular periods and it will not serve the intended purpose.

Mid cycle does not give full protection for pregnancy. It's better to start from day 1 of period
