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.
