Late Period--ortho Tricyclen Lo Posted: 10-06-04 06:19am
I've been on ortho lo since june and it's
worked really well for me. I always get
my period on the tuesday after I start the
sugar pills. This month, though, it
hasn't come yet. I'm really starting to
freak out. I've been feeling a little
crampy and i've had the breast tenderness
and cravings that normally come with my
period, but it hasn't come. I'm fanatical
about taking the pills on time every day,
and i'm not on any other medication or
herbs.
Does this mean i'm pregnant, or are late
periods somewhat common? i'm really scared.
Can anyone help me?

I was on a low estrogen pill for about 6
months to a year (i don't remember exactly
how long).. The first couple of months I
was perfectly regular but then my periods
started getting out of whack as well... I
was late one month... Then I would get
spotting and almost have 2 periods in a
month.. Then it would change again. For
me it was the low estrogen .. It couldn't
maintain a regularity for me.. I would
give it some time and if it doesn't come
then go to the doctor.. They may have to
change around your pill.. If you were
good about taking it every day then I
would highly doubt you're pregnant.

I have been on ortho trycyclen lo for 2
months now and I am not happy with it. I
think for me it is the low estragen too.
I had been on the ortho tryclyclen for 2
years and it worked great for me..
Cleared my acne, and regular periods were
no question.. So now I am going back on
ortho tryclyclen again becasue I had
better luck with it..
Write soon!!

I was on ortho tri lo as well, and I went
off of it after two months....It made me
break out, which had never happened in my
19 years, it made me tired, and the side
affects were just not worth the security
of the pill.

I've been on ortho-lo since june and it
works great for me. Periods are always
on time and a pretty light flow, which is
amazing. Anyway... Everyone's body
reacts differently to stuff, and even
though it might have been fine for a while
your body is still adjusting to it.
Also, if you havent had unprotected sex
and forgot to take your pills or something
like that you should be a-ok.
i'm really scared.
Can anyone help me?
