Q: Starting Birth Control - Which Pill Do I First Take?

I'm starting on the 5th day (thursday) instead of sunday (which is labelled on the pack). For the first pill do I take the thursday pill or the sunday one?

If you are starting a brand new pack you always start with 1st day sunday even if you actully start on a thursday. In my packes they come with a stick that you can but on it to change the days so it matches your schedule.
