ortho-lo pills tihs week, while I had my

As long as they were only the inactive
pills you are fine. They are just sugar
pills, and they just keep you on track
with remembering to take the pill. Some
people don't even bother taking them all
together. But if you missed any of the
active pills then it calls for backup.

yeah, I for one don't bother taking the
inactive pills since they don't do
anything. I always remember to take my
pill when it's an active one :)

You don't need to take the inactive pills
when you have your period; they're just
there to keep you in the habit of taking
your pill every night. I never take my
inactive pills.
