I've been on ortho tri cyclene for 1 year and never been late. This month I missed 1 pill and doubled up the next day but it was right around ovulation. Im now 4 days into my green pills and totally confused, Could I be pregnant? It would be cool if I was, Im just not expecting it. The hard part to is I started my pills the sun after my period start but Im not sure what day that is? Please give me any info you may have. Thanks alot girls..

Have you tested yet? If not, go for it, a pg test "should" give you the answer by now. It's possible that you are since you're late even though you're on bc...Let us know what happens!

Good luck!!!

I am also on the pill and I missed a few of the white pills which would be the active pills. I have 13 days until my period is due but have no idea if I could have conceived or not. I dont want to keep taking the pills if I am tho.

I too have been on the OTC pill for a little over a year, and my period has never been late, although, you said you were into your fourth green pill, has your period always started right on the first green pill??? I ask because when I first started the pill my period didn't start until the third green pill, and I would have it for four day's, and now that I've been on it for a year my period starts in-between the third and fourth pills, I think eventually way down the road our periods would stop completely, maybe i heard wrong, some times if you totally skip the green pills and go right back to the white pills you'll never have your period, that hasn't worked for anyone in me family including me. So I guess everyone's different, I say, wait it out, if you're period doesn't come when you've started into your new package I say test, I don't know for sure though....I'm still awaiting my period, and I'm feeling very pregnant symptoms, so I'm in high hopes that my period doesn't start...I've already started my green pills, just wait it out a few more day's....sorry If I don't help, I'm not much of an advice giver, I'm more of the listener....good luck.
