Question About My Ortho Tri-cyclen Lo Posted: 12-08-04 22:48pm
Okay, I just started ortho tri-cyclen lo
this month... I started on a sunday,
which also, as it happened, was the first
day of my period (which was kind of
handy)... I've taken my pills every
night within at least 2 hours of my normal
time... And i've been having sex with
my boyfriend, but we've been using
condoms... Next sunday i'm supposed to
start my period and about two days ago we
were having sex and the condom slipped...
Today ive been... Spotting?
I'm not sure if its spotting or not...
It's a discharge but looks like old
blood... I can't recall correctly, but
I think this *may* have been happening
before the accident... But im not
sure... I've also noticed I had very
very minor cramps today... But my
period isn't due until next week... Is
this normal? Or is something wrong?

Well, up until the condom breakage you
were absolutely fine. I wouldn't be
overly concerned, but there is a chance
that you might be pregnant. If you dont
get your period during your week of green
pills (i usually get mine on the wednesday
of the green pills) you could do a
pregnancy test to be sure, but having an
irregular period for the frst couple
months of using birth control pills is
normal... So is the breakthrough bleeding
you've described.
Bottom line, if you go all of next week
without getting your period, do a
pregnancy test, just to be on the safe
side.... I personally think you'll be ok,
but it never hurts to double check with a
test, or you could even ask your doctor.
