I've been on sprintec for a month now, I have missed 5 days now, it's a new pack of pills should I start with the very first pill or the fifth pill?

You should restart with the first pill, as directed.

The NIH lists the typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, spotting, irritability, and PMS-like symptoms.

It will also take 7 days for it to become effective at preventing pregnancy, so you should use a backup method of contraceptive during that week, such as condoms.

Is there anything else I can help with?
