She can start taking the pills any day of the week she wants to. I personally started my period on a monday, so that's when I started the pills. Some packs come with a sicker you can insert to change what day the pills are labled as. Sunday is just used as an easy day to remember. Whatever day she starts her period is the day she should begin the pills, whether it is sunday, monday, or thursay :) just remember what days she starts on, put it on the calendar, and log each week. Then every month she'll start on the same day, monday after monday.
However, you can technically start the pills anytime; but if you don't start them the day her period starts, then she won't be protected for about 1-2 weeks (some people say a whole month, so you could always use condoms just in case). Since it's tuesday, what have you guys done?
