I am new here and have been reading many posts and finally decided to just ask !

I have been on Ortho Tri-Cyclen for three years now and this past month on oct 5 and 6 I forgot to take my pills and took two on the 7th and two on the 8th like the insert said being this was WEEK 1 in a new pack. DH and I did have sex on the 4th and on the 8th, without any backup (i failed to catch that part). What are the chances of being pregnant?

This would be my 4th if I am. The only differnt signs I have are somewhat frequent urination, bloating, and this tightness stretching feeling just above my pubic bone and on my sides, and my face has started breaking out with acne--- something I have not done in years ! I have been somewhat nausated but nothing really to speak of. What is your opinion??

Well, personally, I've always been horrible with taking my pills. I've missed 2 a number of times. I didn't get pregnant until I was off of them completely. Both times. I'd say you'd be okay, but everyone is different. I also was on Ortho tri for years and years, I found the range in hormones screwed me up quite a bit.

Good Luck, I hope it turns out as you'd like it to ;)
