PLEASE alleviate my worries....

Alright...I just started Ortho Tri Lo...my first time on bc. I love it because I never had any side effects. First question is...I messed up my first day and instead of making Sunday my start day (d'oh) I made it Monday (doctor said it was okay). But my time to take it is Midnight each night (so if I do get nauseated I wouldn't know). So...now that I'm on my period, when it comes time to take my first pill on the new pack, can I take it Sunday instead of Monday? I'd rather have Sunday be my start day. Also, if Midnight is my time, do I take it the night OF my start day or the night BEFORE??
Another important question....and this will determine whether or not I continue to take this pill....I noticed that in the last two weeks before my period, ESPECIALLY the last week, which was the week I have the strongest dose of hormones, I had ZERO libido. I mean like..none. And the mid-month week I still had a strong desire for my boyfriend, but it was like the sahara down there. Is this something that can pass? I really want this to work but of all damn side effects I have the MIA libido?? Do you think maybe it just needs to work itself through my system a couple times and maybe my desire will come back? I mean my boyfriend even said he's noticed a change in my attitude...like I'm not as giddy to see him when he comes home from work and stuff. And if this may NOT be something that will pass with time, has anyone been through this and what did YOU do? We bought some KY moisturizer...but it doesn't help my mind from wandering during the act...I mean my boyfriend is having all this fun and it's like I'm not even there. It crushes me. ANY suggestions for my questions will help!!!!! Thank you
