If you took the proper number of active pills then it doesn't matter if you started 2 days early.

Well I had my period come on day 4 of the placebos once, so that may happen to you. If the whole week goes by without one, then go buy a pregnancy test.

I've been on Ortho for a few years now and I usually only get my period on my 3rd for 4th sugar pill. It's a different pill, so while other may have had you start one or two days into the placebos, this is a new pill and your body is adjusting. I would give it time, see how you do in a few months. This might just end up being your new schedule on this new pill though. I wouldn't worry.
