Q: Orange Juice And Birth Control ?

The other night I took my birth control pills with water and then about a few minutes later I had a glass of orange juice. I was talking with my dad and he said that's going to mess it up because of the Acidity of the orange juice.

What do I do now?
Is it okay to have sex or no?

I'm on Ortho Tri cyclen LO and I take my pills every day at the same time.

Drinking orange juice will not affect the pill.

Think of how acidic your stomach acid is! Confused

Yeah, I have never heard of orange juice being an issue with the pill.

Also, like Anne said, your stomach is already acidic.
