Missed 3 BC pills

What should I do? I miss taking the ortho tri cyclen for three days and two out of the three I was sexually active. I also just got my period for the 2nd time this month and it is about 2weeks early.

You got your period because you missed three pills, that's the same as going on a placebo week. Your body thought it was time for the period because you hadn't taken pills.

You could get pregnant during that time. Getting your period is a good sign that you didn't get pregnant, but I would still take a test 2 weeks after you had sex just to make sure.
