question on tri-sprintec

I've been on Tri-sprintec (the generic version of Ortho Tri Cyclen) for approx. 5 months now. This past month I hadn't missed any pills. However, I haven't gotten my period yet. I'm about 5 days late, and I don't feel the usual symtoms I ususally do when my period is about to start. Last night I felt quite nauseas all throught the night. I don't know if its just my mind playing tricks on me or could i be pregnant. Is it too early to take a pregnancy test?? Or is it usual to skip a period while on the pill??

Hi deani, welcome!

It's quite possible to miss a period while on OCs. I wouldn't worry just yet as hormonal contraceptives are very effective (98-99%) if you have been taking them correctly. If you are late then it is not too early to test. I hope you get the answer you want. Let us know how you are doing, ok?

Good luck,
