Is It Possible to Start Your Birthcontrol On the Wrong Day? Posted: 09-26-05 01:35am


I was on ovcon 35 for 13 months, then recently switched to ortho tr-cyclen lo because of spotting. I was a friday starter on the ovcon, but my ortho pack has sunday start printed, and no stickers. So, I started the pill tonight (sunday), without taking any pill for only 2 days. But, I realize that there are technically only two ways to start, 1) on the first day of your period 2) on the sunday after the first day of your period i was spotting on the ovcon, so the first day of my last period was technically 2 thursday's ago (ending this last wednesday) but I wasn't to start taking the inactive pills until last friday. Anyway, I think I did something wrong and I wonder if anyone has any advice or knowledge about this...

You should be alright; your period won't start on the ortho until you begin the sugar pills; so it sound slike you'll just go a little longer than a month between periods this time. You may start spotting around the time your period should have started, but your actual period won't begin until the sugar pills.
