Birth Control/Taking the wrong pill

Question
I am currently taking Ortho Tri-Cyclin and I started a knew pack of pills yesterday(Sunday). When I went to take my pill tonight (Monday), I Discovered that my pack was upside down in the case and I had taken a Blue pill last night instead of a white pill. I have already taken the white pill for tonight. Should I just continue taking the pills like normal for the rest of the month?
Hi Erin,
Wow, that's too bad that this happened. I'm not a medical doctor so I suggest that you talk to your physician or whoever prescribed the pills to you. In my opinion, I would continue to take the right pills but like I said, check with a medical professional just to be sure. I don't want to recommend the wrong thing. Also maybe you should use a back up method for a few days. Have you had any other problems with the birth control pill with side effects and how long have you been on this? Please feel free to write me anytime at DCHERYL51@yahoo.com
