Hi last night my blood came today I started my Diane pills but I start from the first tablet which is marked as Sunday. Am I still safe if I continue this way?is there a possibilities that I might get pregnant later as I didn't follow the right day?

Hello, Kass! How are you?

No, that's fine. The days are listed by the pills to just try to help women remember to take one each day, many oral contraceptive packs in the U.S. come with alternative stickers, so you can change it to whatever day you actually took it and keep track that way.

If you'd like, you can cross of the days and write in the day of the week you took it and so on.

The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, irritability and weight changes.

Is there anything else I can help with?
