Question
If I missed my Sunday start date, can't I just start Tuesday and finish the pack to make it a Tuesday start date?
Jackie,
I am pretty sure you can do that; I believe the whole Sunday start date is just there because Sunday seems to be the best day to start and its easy to remember. I don't think starting on Tuesday should be a problem, but if I were you, I'd double check with your doctor just in case.
Sorry for the late response, my computer was down all weekend!
Hope I could help,
Lyndsay
