Hello,
I've been on Ortho-Tri-Cyclen for about 4 years now--no problems or worries. Two packs ago, a lapse in my prescription and a vacation made it so that I actually had to go a full week between when I took my last pill of the previous pack (one of the placebos) and when I started the new pack. This really worried me, so I used backup for the entire month of that pack, and my period actually came pretty much as normal (a little bit of spotting a few days earlier, but then very normal flow, etc.)
I started the next pack as usual and on time. I have not used backup this month. Now my period is a couple of days late--I ususally start on the Mon. or Tues. of the placebo week, and now it's Wednesday. Is there anything to worry about? Could my period still be screwed up b/c of what happened two months ago? I'm feeling very concerned. Any advice would be so helpful...thanks!

Hi eastcoastgirl2006,
I would say that your body is still trying to adjust to the pill again.
