Why does it start on Tuesday? Also why does that bother me?

    Ah yeah so this kind of pill comes with a sticker pack. You pick the sticker strip that's your schedule and put it on the top.

    The og pack without a sticker starts on Sunday.

    This isn't the brand in the picture, but illustrates the point.

    Neat. But it should totally start with Monday.

    The reason it's Tuesday is cause every now and then I forget to get my refil on time and then the next pack starts a day late. (Originally it was Wednesday 😅).

    I don't take them for contraceptive effects but yeah missing pills makes them not work for that effect.

    Plus the first time you take them you are supposed to take them a few days after your period starts so it matches your natural cycle.

    The round packs let you rotate the day of the week. No stickers.

    Sunday is the first day of the week though. My time tracking software starts on monday and I hate it.

    The database I manage has 3 different week formats in it for reporting periods. Sun-Sat, Fri-Sun and Mon-Sun. We also have 5 different definitions of "year" depending on fiscal year, calendar year, operational year, and the operational years for 3 different large clients, etc.

    As I've slid into adulthood the wisdom of Douglas Adams has really begun to resonate: "time is an illusion, lunchtime doubley so"
