Hey guys,
I have been using ortho tricyclen lo for the last five months, but last month my order for more ortho tricyclen didnt come in on time (by over a week) so I started taking seasonale (I accidentally bought it because my doctor sent me the wrong perscription about two months ago) because it was just laying around.
Well seasonale is a three month no period deal but I want to go back to ortho tricyclen lo by next month. So basically I took seasonale like a regular 28 day cycle pill, and I have currently skipped like a crap load of pills from seasonelle and went to the white ones after 21 days like a normal birth control pill.
I am also sexually active, should I be worried?
Am I still protected?
Was I still protected switching from ortho to seasonelle in the beginning?
Was it bad to skip right to the white pills?
I have taken two white seasonelle pills and I still havnt had a period (although I usually didnt have one until the third or fourth nonactive pill or whatever with ortho, but are the chemicals all the same??)
should I not freak out if I dont have a period this month after I take all the white ones and switch back to ortho?

Hi erica05973, welcome!
