mon première amie or ma première amie

mon première amie or ma première amie

I learned that "ma" changes to "mon" if the female noun starts with a vowel, for pronunciation.

But does this "mon" changes back to "ma" if there ist another adjective in between?

(maybe not very relevant to this topic, but by seeing the examples, it reminds me of this)

Li p.,  

‘ ma ‘ ( ta, sa ) will only be replaced with the use of ‘ mon ‘ ( ton, son ) when the word  immediately following the possessive adjective starts with a vowel or h muet . 

Therefore you would never use ‘ mon première …..  ‘ and only the 2nd option you give is correct.

 "Ma" becomes "mon" with feminine nouns starting with a vowel or mute h (French Possessive Adjectives)
