Question On Birth Control ortho tri cyclen Posted: 11-25-03 01:41am
I just have a quick question for you...I
have been taking ortho tri cyclen for 2
years now-last month(10/17) I stopped
taking it after my period thinking I
wouldn't be seeing my fiancee for 2 months
due to navy training. I just got back on
(11/16)(meaning I missed a month of pills)
and have been 8 days into it today...My
question is that I see my fiancee in 2
days(earlier than expected)-that would be
10 days -do we have to wear a condom or is
ok not too since I have taken it so long
before and only been off a month? I know
doctors reccommend waiting at least 2
weeks before using just the birth control
but being on it for so long before I was
just curious...I would really appreciate
if someone could write me back asap.

Definately use a condom. Your hormones
are so messed up right now from stopping
and then starting the pill again. You
should use a backup method for two to
three months.

U should definitely use a back up method
of birth control and y did u stop taking
the pill, just because u werent seeing ur
fiancee for a month. Next time just keep
taking it whether or not he is in town
that way u can be sure of no major
hiccups
from someone who wants a jelly bean all of
their own
