Hello and welcome,
I understand your concern.
You may start it on day 6. The only issue is you will have to use another method like a condom for the first 7 days of pill intake after which it will start protecting.
So go ahead and start it on day 6.
Hope this satisfies your query.
Thanks for using HCM.
