Ortho-tricylen Lo Question Posted: 10-25-04 09:54am
I have taken ortho for a couple years and
this past month I got my period 2 weeks
early, had it up to and through my regular
period (i had it for three weeks
total)...In the confusion of this I
noticed two days before my placebo pills
that I had two extra pills. I took two
and threw one out, took the pill at my
regular time the next day, and then
started the placebo pills on the following
day as scheduled. I don't know when I
missed the pills but I was not having sex
due to my three-week long period. I
started my new pack on friday and had sex
on sunday with no other form of birth
control. It's been more than seven days
since the missed pills but I was not
taking active pills during all of those
days. Could I be pregnant?

I know when you miss a pill you should
take 2 pills at the same time the next
day. I have missed 3 of my pills this
month and taken the missed pill and the
pill for that day. I have no clue about
this pill... But I have been searching
and it seems like more people are getting
pregnant on this pill more than others...

I've been told that if u miss a pill
taking both the next day will not help.
The only way taking more pills will help
is if you take 4 2 times that following
day after sex (basically a morning after
remedy). If u miss a pill most docs say
to wait 7 days b4 having unpro. Sex,
others say 14 days.
