Q: Late Period On Bc And Having Sex

Ive started the ortho and have been on it for 2 months. My period comes on the 5th day of my sugar pill. It has done this for the past 2 months. I start taking the next pill pack on the scheduled day, however is it ok to have unprotected sex on day 1-5 of the sugar pills since I do not have my period?

It is considered ok since you are taking the sugar pills and should be safe. However, you would have to wait until you are finished with the sugar pills before you can take a pregnancy test. It could be that you are just late.
