Am I a worry wart?????.
Fri, 07-09-2004 - 6:31pm
I have a question and I thought somebody on this message board might be able to help me out:

I am on OrthoTriCyclin Lo. I have been on it for 2 months now, but was originally on regular OTC for years. I am very good about taking my pills at night at the same time and have not missed a pill in a long time. My question is this---- I finished up the placebo week (where I had my period) and I was set to start my new pack of pills on Sunday night. On that Sunday afternoon I had unprotected sex. That night, when I was to start my new pack of pills, I went out late (was on vacation) and didnt take it until 2am Monday morning. Then I went out monday night, stayed out late, and didnt end up taking my pill until 6am Tuesday morning. I then started back on my regular schedule Tuesday night of taking the pills before bed between 10-1130pm. I didnt have unprotected sex again until that Wednesday night. This was almost 2 weeks ago. Is there a chance that on that sunday when I was to start my new pills, and had unprotected sex, that I could have gotten pregnant because I sort of messed up my 'time' of taking the pill?

I have a week and a half left of this month's pills until I start my period again, and I am just to anxious to wait until then! I just have felt 'ick' over the last 2-3 days (extra hungry, but nausea at times, etc) I know I sound like a worry wart, but that is just me :-) I even went and took a urine pregnancy test just in case--------of course it came out negative, but its only been 12 days. Anyway, if anyone can calm my nerves, or just offer some advice that would be wonderful!!!!

(by the way, I did call my Gyno office and talked to a nurse there who was no help)

Thanks-
