Worried About Being Pregnant While On Ortho Tryciclen Posted: 02-28-07 02:26am
I hope this post makes sense, i have never
written on a message board before. But im
still curious about my question.
I just started on the BC pill on the 11th
of february, and i was told to wait 2
weeks before having unprotected sex...
well i had unprotected sex about 1-2 days
before the 2 week date. I have also missed
one pill and havent been totally
consistent on the time of day that i take
it (maybe like 80%? of the time im
consistent). According to an online
ovulation calculator i ovulated on the
25th of February which was exactly 14 days
from my 2 week date of beginning the pill.
I have gotten pregnant about one year
ago and ever since then i get very
paranoid about it happening again. Im just
nervous and wondering what my chances are
that i could be pregnant since ive been
careless with taking my birth control pill
and this is only my first month that i
have been on it.
Thank you, any feedback would be
appreciated

Well, you only actually need to wait 1
week before having unprotected sex on most
pills. As for missing one pill, you're
probably fine as long as you took it later
on. For timing, you need to take pills
within 6 hours of the same time each day,
or they count as missed. So if you
normally take them at 8 am and don't take
one until 2 pm, then it is "missed".
