Chances On Ortho-tricyclein Posted: 04-19-06 07:18am
My girlfriend takes ortho-tricyclin and
that is the only form of birth control we
use. My question is, how much of a
guarantee is that last week (up until the
7th day) during the placebo/period week.
We had sex on the 7th day of her period
week and I was wondering if that is at
higher risk (no condom and did not pull
out). Is the pill that precise with
scheduling?

Your girlsfriend is perfectly protected
during her placebo week!
As long as she takes her next pack on the
7th day like she is supposed to all is
well..
But since you seem like a proactive young
man, and you want to know things.. I have
some advice for you...
Have "the talk" about what to do if she
gets pregnant on birth control(highly
highly unlikely) ..Will she have an
abortion? Will she keep it, adoption?
You will feel better, and you will
probably feel more at ease if you just
know what happen "if" pregnancy happens.
But still, it is hihgly unlikely, and she
is well protected on birth control.

As long as your girlfriend takes her pill
at the same time everyday, then she is
well protected.

Thank you for your reply. I think I am
going to sit down and have a talk with
her. Another little question... Does she
need to start the next one on the 7th day
or start the new pack the next day?
Thanks again.

She starts the new pack the next day. She
should only take one pill every day, and
this is true for the placebo week as well.
She should always start the new pack on
the same day of the week.
