How do you skip your period on ortho tri-cyclen?
After taking your three weeks of active pills, just skip the sugar pills in the last row and go directly into a new pack. You take 6 rows of active pills (all the active pills from 2 packs) and skip the period you would have gotten on the sugar pills
You have been on Ortho Tricyclen for a few years and got breakthrough bleeding this month you missed two pills is that your period how long does it typically last?
If you missed tow pills and had breakthrough bleeding, resuming your pills should stop the bleeding. However, since you missed two pills you are not protected this month, so use a backup method of birth control.
Can your period change if your body rejects your birth control pills?
There is no medical concept of birth control pill rejection, but some women may have changes in their periods on one birth control pill that they don't like. Changing to another brand may help. My friend has been switching back and forth between the b.c. that makes you have periods every three months and Ortho and her last period lasted twelve days with lots of cramps. Her doctor recently had her take two regular pills of Ortho for four days.. then her bleeding stopped and he adviced her to stay with Ortho!
How do you stop taking ortho tricyclen lo?
I have been taking the same pills as you and just stopped taking it mid month. may not have been the brightest idea because now my body is going through changes that Im not to sure are pregnancy related. Once you take your last pill before your sugar pills that would be the best time to stop.
What if you miss nine birth control pills?
If you miss nine birth control pills, start a new pack as soon as you can. Consider taking the morning after pill if you had sex in the last five days. Use a back up method until you've taken seven pills correctly.
What are the last 7 pills for birth control for?
The last seven pills in the birth control pack are to keep you in the habit of taking pills. Some contain vitamins, but most contain no active ingredients.
What do you do if you start your period in the middle of your birth control pack?
Continue taking the pills as scheduled, consider emergency contraception if you missed any pills and had intercourse in the last five days, and contact your health care provider if you have pain, vaginal odor, pain with sex, or pain with urination.
If you bleed after not taking three birth control pills are you not pregnant?
The signs of pregnancy are a positive pregnancy test and lack of bleeding. If you think you might be pregnant, take a pregnancy test. If you missed three pills use a back up method until you've taken seven pills correctly. Consider the morning after pill if you had sex in the last five days.
In your birth control package on the last row the first two pills are a light blue and the last five are dark blue what does that mean?
the dark blue ones mean your period is coming, or arrives with the start of the 1st dark blue pill. they have no estrogen in them.
What are your options if your scalp hair has fallen out since you started using ortho lo birth control in the last two months?
Birth control pills can cause hair loss. Generally, it takes about 3 months for your body to adjust to the new influx of hormones. Often, your estrogen/progestin levels will even out, hair loss will stop, and all will be fine. However, there are birth control pills that are "notorious" causing hair loss (Alesse, ortho tri-cylen lo, estrostep...) because they either have low estrogenic activity or high androgenic activity- in that case, if your hair is continually affected, it would be certainly advisable to talk to your Ob-Gyn about different BC options.
Also which are the sugar pills Im guessing the last ones can you skip them?
If you don't know, check with your prescriber or pharmacist. A few birth control pills have no sugar pills, and there's no point in skipping active pills.
Can you get pregnant missing last week of active pills?
Yes
