Ortho Tri Cyclene..... Clueless Posted: 10-19-04 19:48pm
I have only been on ortho tri cyclene
(trinessa) for almost 2 months and my
period is late. These are the first birth
control pills I have ever been on so this
is all completely new to me. Is your
period supposed to start on your first day
of the green pills? Mine hasnt started
yet and I am on the third day of them; I
have been getting cramps, but not the real
thing. Is it late because my body is
still adapting to the pill? I have not
had unprotected sex, so I guess I am just
kind of worried. Usually when you first
get perscribed to the pill, there is a
little fact sheet that tells you about the
pill (so I have been told), but I have
never received anything that tells me
about the pill. I guess I am kind of
clueless.
If you have any advice please write back!

You'll probably get it around the 3rd of
4th inactive (in your case, green) pill.
It's different for everyone but it should
come on the inactive pills, regardless.
Never few people get it on the first
inactive pill. When you first start it's
not uncommon to miss a period so don't
worry if you do.

I am on ortho tri cyclen and my period
usually starts on the 4th day of the green
pills and used to last until the 2nd day
of the new pack, however, over the years,
my period now stops on the first day of
the new pack. One thing to watch out for
while taking this pill is weight gain and
an overall sence of bloatedness. I have
have those anyway. I loved that this pill
made my periods so regular, but I hate
that over 5 years i've gained 25lbs even
tho i've been exercising and changed my
eating habits to a more healthy lifestyle.
