Starting the pill

Question

Starting the pill

Asked for Female, 21 Years

I got a copper IUD taken out today, and I was supposed to have gotten my period 5 days ago but sometimes it irregular. The doctor gave a prescription for the pill today and I'm wondering when I should start it. I am going to visit a boyfriend on February 16 and don't want to have my period that weekend. So when do you think I should start taking the pill? And do you think I will get it then?
