Color Order of Pills
Posted: 07-01-05 22:49pm

My doctor did not explain to me the order of the pills for ortho tri cyclen lo... Previous to this pill I have take alesse and lo/ovral, but had to change for side effects..... I thought I was a "day 1 start", meaning, I don't start my period on a sunday. So, I took the first white pill, while on my period, on a tuesday. I thought this was right, now after reading everyone else's questions I know this was wrong.... I shouldn't be starting my period for 2 more weeks, but I will be starting the green -- sugar pills in one week. I am really confused as to what I should do? Should I skip a week of taking pills so that I catch up and take the sugar pills during my period, or should I just take the sugar pills the week before my period, and not take any pill during my period, then start a new pack> the right way?
We ( me and my bf) always use a condom, so I think i'm safe in that department....
Can anyone help me?
