Hi, okay, I take ortho-tri cyclen lo, and
I am on the sunday start. Well the last
weeks pills, (inactive pills) I was just
wondering, are these just reminder pills,
do I have to take them or can I just stop
taking them for that week then start again
on the white ones the following week.
Wasnt sure if the inactive sugar pills had
to be taken or not.
Also: is is maybe the sugar pills, that
add/ may contribute to weight gain? So
wouldnt it be healtheir to not take
them?
Thanks for any replies : )

The way my doctor put it to me when she
put me on ortho-tri cyclen lo was that all
they are there for is to help to remind
you to take your pill. She said that it
was better if you took them but if you
forgot one than its not a big deal so I
dont see why you couldn't skip them all
together....I know girls who do that and
they are fine

They are purely sugar pills, but it's
always best to practice good habits with
birth control. You're already taking the
rest of the month, why not take that one
week of sugar pills. I figure, I would
rather take the pills than be unexpectedly
pregnant. :lol:
