I need to start the birth control pill. I started my period today, Thursday, should I start on Thursday on my pack as well?

Hello,

no, you should not start it on a Thursday on the pack. You should start with the first tablet on the top left

The days of the week are listed as a guide to help you not forget a pill. Some companies provide stickers with the different days of the week as the starting day. Did they have any in your package? You could put the sticker with Thursday as your start day

In summary, you can start with the first tablet in the top left corner of the package today. The first 21 tablets are "active" and they are all the same. The last 7 tablets are "inactive". The important thing is to take an active tablet for the first 21 days and then take an inactive tablet for 7 days.

Does this answer your question?

Have a nice day!
