Ortho Tri-cyclen Lo Question Posted: 12-23-07 18:26pm
So this is my first month of taking Ortho
Tri-Cyclen Lo or any birth control, and i
took every pill as well as on time, and i
have finally reached the "inactive" green
ones that are the ones you are suppose to
have your period on, but my period didnt
start, and i have had unprotected sex a
week prior to this. I dont know if its
normal that i missed it or if its ok, or
if i'm actually pregnant. I cant call my
doctor because she is on vacation and i'm
out of town. help?

How many inactive pills have you taken?
Sometimes your period won't come until day
3 or 4.

SOME women skip periods on BC pills
without even trying, it is basically due
to the hormones.
You SHOULD keep taking the pills as usual,
meaning you should start your next package
even if you do not get a period.

and i usually dont get my period until the
3rd or 4th day. having sex can push back
your period also being stressed pushes it
back too. as long as you took every pill
at the same point of the day i wouldnt
worry about it. if you do not get your
period at all i would keep taking the pill
but i would suggest taking a pregnancy
test. just to be sure.

This is your first time on pills your body
could be still adjusting and you might get
it the week after those inactive pills as
long as you took all of your pills like
you were supposed to I believe that you
are ok, I would wait and continue taking
the pills and call the doctor within the
next week or two and just make sure that
it is ok but I really think that it has a
lot to do with your body adjusting to it
