Question, Hopefully I Can Have Some Peace of Mind!!! Posted: 02-08-05 23:50pm
Hi, I have a question, cause i'm a little
confussed about all this. Anyway, here's
the story: my girlfriend has been on
ortho....21 day for about 4 months now.
In december, in her 3rd week, she forgot
to take 3 pills, as she forgot them at
home on her dresser, and so she couldn't
take them, when she got home, she took the
pills on the day of the 3rd pill she
missed, so she took one on the 27th, miss,
miss, and on the 30th, she took them all.
Then, because she missed those, she had
light bleeding, until she took the pills
again. When it was timef or her period,
she had her period on time, except she
said it was lighter as well, but it still
lasted her reg. Time. Now a month
later, today is her due date, and she has
taken all her pills faithfully. I am
slightly worried, but any answers would be
good to know, thanks.
Btw, we had sex on the 26th.

There shouldn't be any problems.. She had
her period on time last month so there
would be little reason to suspect she's
pregnant or anything. Since she took the
pills regularly this month she should have
her period regularly.. Although it is
possible for it to be a little bit off.
I would say though that what she does need
to do is to read the directions on her
birth control. She shouldn't have taken
all three in one day.. That can mess you
up (hence why she had bleeding and an
irregular period). They usually tell you
to take them over a few days.. And often
if you miss 3 days you should start a new
pack. It's different for each brand.

Thanks, she told me that she had her
period on time, last night, and yeah, I
know that she wasn't supposed to take
those 3 now, thanks for the advice though.
