Mini pill help - Desomono

I'm back on the pill after nearly 20 years and I can't tell if I'm being particularly dull here... and it's really bothering me!

On the pack the pills have the days next to them and arrows telling you which one to take. I know it doesn't strictly matter, and that they're just a guide to help you remember to take it each day. But I had a sudden panic just now because I noticed Weds still in its place. I def took it this morning. Looking at the pack however, it seems there is a day after Sunday which is 'unallocated'.

I've attached a pic showing the pack... what am I missing? 🤔

The day is printed to the right of the pill so you've taken Weds pill. Following this logic the unallocated one is Mondays.

I stopped taking the pill a few months ago and my pack was similarly confusing - led to the occasional scare.

The pack is so confusing isn't it?! For Monday, there's a clear arrow showing which one to take. Which just leaves a lonely, unallocated pill after Sunday!

And to me, the Weds pill is the one circled here...

It is very confusing. They tell you it's to make it easy to remember but I'm not so sure!!

The day is printed to the right of the pill. On the one you've circled it's Thursday's pill.

It is confusing though, why they have arranged and printed them in a sort of spiral I don't know.

How is it confusing? There's 7 pills fir each day of the week, week starting on Sunday.

Each row is 7 pills. You've had wednesdays so the 4th pill is thursdays

The one you’ve circled is Thursday - you started bottom right so work across right to left then up a level left to right up a level again right to left etc etc. The day is on the right of each pill 💊

Well yes I can see why you thought that as it took me a while to figure it out. Especially as it seemed to go from Sunday top right to Tuesday bottom right 🫣

But was simply solved by counting the No of pills taken against the days!
