I was on Ortho Tri-cyclen for about 5 months to help my skin, but stopped taking them simply because I forgot to get my perscription! =( I had a regular period and cycle during those months (28-day cycle), and my period usually came during the non-active pills each pack (usually around Day 24 of the pack). When can I expect my next period? Around the same day that it would have come, had I stayed on the pills or possibly later?

Your first off-pill period could come on time, or if you're like a lot of women, it may be several weeks later.
