Coming off Ortho Tri-cyclen Lo Posted: 03-31-08 08:57am
About 2 months ago, I went off of my Ortho
Tri-cyclen Lo. I lost my insurance and
can't afford it right now. Even when I was
on BC I used a condom every single time.
Last month was the first month off of BC
and I got my period on time and it was
normal. This month, I still haven't gotten
it. I use protection EVERY time and make
sure we check to make sure nothing went
wrong as I am paranoid about stuff like
this. I was just wondering if this is
normal when coming off of BC where you can
get it one month on time, and then not the
second, and so on. Thanks so much.

Yes, this is normal. I would not worry
about it too much. If you are worried,
you could always take a test, but if you
are being careful and protected the odds
are you aren't pregnant.

Yes I'm protected every single time. I did
in fact take a test just to make sure and
it did come back as being negative. Do you
think it will come any day, or will it
come when it is supposed to next month?

It is really hard to tell. It takes some
women a few months for their period to
regulate and get back to normal again
after coming off the pill, while others
seem to get back to normal right away. I
think the only way you can really tell if
its coming sooner rather than later is if
you have been paying attention to your
cervical mucous (so you can tell
approximately when you are ovulating and
figure it out from that date).
