ortho tri cyclen lo and period delay
Posted: 04-17-08 18:43pm

OK guys this is my story see what you think. I am on ortho tri cyclen lo. I take it perfectly never miss a pill and am on my third pack, i take my pill same time everyday. My boyfriend and i were having unprotected sex right after my period had ended last month, so i wasnt even close to ovulation. We had sex for a long period of time then he pulled out. So he didnt even go in me but he has tons of precum usually. My breasts were kind of sore and swollen for a few days then they stoped, and im freaking out. Last month my period came three days before my period pills (the 5 pills that are green and usually supposed to be taken with your period). As of right now compared to last month i was supposed to get my period today, but my period pills dont start till sunday. Usually i would have cramps or something by now and i have nothing. So I am not sure what to do.

If you EVER suspect you might be pregnant, or think there is even a possibility---you need to take a pregnancy test.

If it were me, I would wait until Monday and take a test then. Try not to stress so much because it can delay your period as well.
Symptoms of swollen and sore breasts would not be occurring at this time either. Sometimes when women think they might be pregnant, their brain makes them feel symptoms that aren't really there. When I was pregnant, my breasts didn't hurt for a while after I found out.

so as long as you are taking the correctly it doesnt matter what time of the month you have sex or if you dont use condoms, you shouldnt fall pregnant. However, as far as i know the pill is more than 99% effective when taken correctly, which leaves less than 1% that you are pregnant. The symptoms you described sound like normal symptoms of your period, and as for your last period arriving a little early, that could be caused by extra exercise, feeling under the weather, stress and your body still getting used to the pill. If you are still worried after the weekend take a test. Hope this helps.
