Ok, I have been on ortho-tri-cyclen lo for
two years now, with little problems.
This month though I had missed three
pills, and I had bleeding a week before my
expected period. At first I thought it
was breakthrough, but it was very heavy
and lasted the entire week. I made the
mistake and stopped taking the pill. Now
it is currently the week I would normally
have my period but now there is nothing.
So now I am very confused. Was last week
my period just early and I should have
started a new pack last sunday, or was
that breakthrough bleeding and my period
has not come and I should still start the
new pack on sunday. Thank you for any
help.

Sounds like you just had your period early
because of missing those pills.. I've had
that happen before. Doesn't sound like
anything to worry about. Just start your
next pack as usual.

Thanks for responding....I stopped taking
my pills and I missed the third week of my
pills and I wasnt sure if I should start a
new pack that sunday and skip my placebo
pills or continue with the old pack. So
it is now the week that my period was
suppose to come and I havent started a new
pack my boyfreind said I should wait until
my next period to start my new pack. Well
I have had unprotected sex last week and
this week is it possible I could get
pregnant?

Since you stopped your pills it is
possible for you to get pregnant, although
it's hard to say what that chance is..
What week of the pills were you in when
you stopped taking the pill? Chances are
with your period that you probably won't
get it because of the bleeding the other
week (so in effect you had your period
early). At this point you have two
choices.. Wait until you get your period
next month and use protection in the
mean-time before you start the pill again,
or start using the pill again when you
normally would have started the new pack.
Make sure you use protection for the next
month to be sure since you were off the
pill for awhile. Then if your period
doesn't come on time next month, try
taking a pregnancy test to make sure
nothing happened while you were off the
pill.
