Q: Ortho Lo Question
asked by: ilovethebeach on August 12th, 2004

So, I took ortho tricyclen lo for four months and had no problems. Then I stopped for a month, and my breasts were very tender right before my period. So this month im on it again.

I used to get my period on the third day of inactive pills (which I usually just dont take).

This is the fourth day and I havent gotten it yet. Is this normal? I havent had sex in the past month so thats pretty much ruled out.


Please answer?

Yeah, your body is just getting used to being back on the pill. This will happen when you go off and then back on, or when you switch pills. They say it can take three full months to get normal again.

I don't ever get my period until the 4th-5th inactive pill... I wouldn't worry about it Smile
