Off Bcp For a Year, Going Back On....help Posted: 01-20-05 17:22pm
Hi everyone.
I was on ortho tricyclene for about a
year, and then went off of it. I am
going back on it this sunday. I read the
package as saying you are good to go after
one week, but i'm wondering if anyone has
any personal feedback on the effectiveness
after what period of time?
Thanks!

People say alot of things about when bc is
effective... But in all reality, I
consider 1 month of taking it correctly to
mean that you are protected. Don't be
like me, take it for one week, then have
unprotected sex... Then worry about being
pregnant! :? (i wasn't)

I've always heard and read to allow one
month for your body to adjust- just to be
safe.
