OK, someone please help me with this:
I've been on Ortho Lo for three years now. Zero problems. On July 14, went to the lake and forgot my pills (long drive so couldn't go back.) I didn't get home from the lake until the 16th. So, I missed two days. My ortho directions said in the case of missing two days in the first or second week, TAKE TWO THE DAY YOU REMEMBER, TWO THE NEXT DAY AND ONE UNTIL YOU FINISH THE PACK. So I took two on the 16th, two on the 17th, and one up until now (i have three days left.)
My period always starts two days after I stop, so I wasn't suprised when it started on the 16th. My problem? It's July 24 and it has not ended. It's insane: my period is NEVER more than 4-5 days and its been 9 days now and HAS NOT ENDED. I am so frustrated.
My pack ends in three days, should I just stop taking the pills now to get my "real" period going? Or will there even be any blood left???
I'm not worried about pregancy concerns (my bf and stopped having sex till this blows over because its not worth running the risk.) So no worries about that, I just want this thing to END.
Ok, any advice on HOW, WHY, or WHAT I should do (continue or stop now) would be great.
Thanks!

Melissa
