Well I am freaking out again. I am a Sunday starter on Ortho Tri-Cyclen and last month I missed the Saturday pill in Week One of my pack, I took it like eight hours late. I got my period on a Wednesday in Week 3 of my pack and bled for over a week. The Saturday of my placebo week my fiance and I had sex and he finished inside me (not my number one smartest idea ever). Now I am on Week 3 of my pack and waiting for AF to show up.

My question - does the fact that I got my period early mean the pill isn't working? Am I still protected? I've been on Ortho for over a year now so it's not like my body is adjusting to it... or could it maybe have been caused by the fact that I missed a pill?

I don't know. I'm just nervous. Any advice?
