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.
