I’ve never taken it before and my last cycle started on April 30th. I’m currently day 9 of my cycle and just picked it up from the pharmacy. Do I start at the very beginning of the pack or since it’s Friday do I just start on the top row of the pack on Friday? She just told me to just start taking it but didn’t really explain where to start on the pack lol. I’ve never taken birth control. Also should I be worried about the side effects? I have really bad health anxiety and it makes me nervous.

When should I be concerned about mid back pain when it’s right on the spine? I don’t always notice it and it only hurts when I move a certain way. Typically when I bend forward. I think it’s my mattress because I went on vacation for a week and didn’t notice it once but since I’ve been back home it’s returned🙃

I have had these symptoms of the pain on spine feeling almost bruise like since November.
