Birth Control - 14 yrs old on ORTHO TRI-CYCLEN


Expert: Drea Jean H. - 6/4/2006

Question
Hello,
I am 14 years of age, and I have a question for you that's been on my mind for quit sometime.
I'm taking TRI-CYCLEN but I'm not sure if I took it right when I first started out.
What I did was the day I started my period ( which was on a tuesday ) I punched out the Tuesday pill and left the Sunday and Monday one. It's been 3 months that I've been taking my birth control, But I'm STILL worried about those 2 pills. I am sexually active, and my question is will not taking those 2 pills effect whether or not I could get pregnant?
Thanks for your time.

Answer
Hi Julie,

Although you didn't take those first two pills right, since you have been on it three months, and everything is fine, that you do not need to worry about it, everythings okay. Pills work on a month to month basis, so those first two pills no longer matter, your protected.

Thanks,

Drea Jean.
