Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern. Since this is your first cycle, you need additional protection until seven days of pill use. If your cycle length is more than 24 days, start the pill from day 5 and take every day at the same time after supper. Rest for one week and take the next pack whether you get a period or not. If your cycle length is less than 24 days, you need to start the first dose from day one of the cycle. For subsequent cycles, continue with day 5 dose. Hope your query has been clarified. Take care.
