Ortho-lo Users... Protection After Placebo Pills Posted: 01-06-06 08:36am
Another ortho-lo question...
I am just about to finish up my first pack
of ortho-lo. When you first start the
pack, they say not to have unprotected sex
for seven days. When I start my next
pack, is this true again, or am I
protected "in between" packs (after my
placebo pills)?

You are protected, you need not wait
another week when you start your next pack
of pills. As long as you take your next
month as you are supposed to, like if you
started your period on sunday, you take
the next pack on the next sunday, you are
fine. The main thing is not to have your
placebo week for more tahn 7 days.
