hi
i just started ortho tri-cyclen lo, my first time on oral contraception. im currently on the placebo pills of my third package but i dont have a period. the first month i had a lot of heavy breakthrough bleeding for a week and a half in addition to my period because i was very sick from food poisoning and not used to changing my cycle. i started my placebos on friday but havent had a period yet. the last time i had sex i used condoms for extra protection. im currently out of town for a few weeks, so i cant see my usual doctor. should i be worried that im pregnant or is this possible being a new user?
also, for future reference, does it matter if i dont take the placebo pills for ortho tri-cyclen lo?
thanks
caroline
