So who knows about BCP? (I take Ortho-Trycycle 28)
Ok Lt me explain u a bit of my problem...
I just realize TODAY that I forgot to take Yesterday's 'Sugar Pill'... So i took it today!!! BUT this is the thing.... Ok this is a little complicated so please stay with me...
On March 14, I started taking my 1st week Active Pill Instead of my Sugar Pill {{Because I did my calculation and my Period was suppose to be there with my In Miami wiht me!!! so i wanted to stop that and I decided to skip sugar n start active}}} Since i usually dont do this... (this is the 3rd time) I still got my period (late) saturday 20 {Which my period usually comes on thursdays...} It lasted 4days... So this week is my sugar pilll, but I just realize that I forgot to drink yesterdays pill!!! {Which is a Sugar pill}.... I know if I were in my 'normal cycle' it will be ok since my period 'would' be here soon... BUT since I 'messed up' and 'confuse' my cycle so get my period at a different time... I AM SCARED......
COULD I GET PREGNANT????????
{{FYI: Not that u need to know this but this is why I am scare, but we have been active this past 4 days}}
HELP PLEASE!!!!!!1 Any thought
Or if it is too CONFUSE everything I wrote Please let me know I will try to rephrase it better....
{{{BTW: I will drink a 'Plan B' tomorrow at 8Am JUST in CASE!!!!!!}}}}

Re: NWR: BCP???? HELP!!!!!!
OK babe
NOt taking th sugar pill is not a problem. In fact, during that week, I usually don't even bother. It's just a placeholder designed to keep you remembering to take your pill when it's time to take the active ones again. So I wouldn't worry aboput that.
You *should* still be okay if you didn't miss any pills even though you took active ones when it was time to take sugar pills in order to delay your period which you still got.
I would NOT take plan B while you're on BCP. No good. Plan B is hormones just like BCP but in higher doses. Ask your doctor before you do anything like that..
Plus, if you use Plan B, it's only good within 72 hours of sex. But, like I said, if you didn't miss any pills besides the sugar pill, I think you're ok

Re: NWR: BCP???? HELP!!!!!!
Like I said, even though you took active when it was supposed to be sugar and went back to sugar after you *should* be all right.
But NO TOMAS PLAN B, lol, no good when you're already on the pill.
Talk to the MD and if it makes you feel better, use backup for the next month to re-regulate yourself. I know you guys did stuff already, but I think you'll be all right.

Re: NWR: BCP???? HELP!!!!!!
Chicas u say NO PLAN B....
But why does the website says this
3. When is it appropriate to use Plan B® One-Step?
You can use Plan B® One-Step after you've had unprotected sex or contraceptive failure one or more times in the last 72 hours (3 days), and you don't want to become pregnant.
Plan B® One-Step can be used as a backup method for birth control if, for example: Your regular birth control failed (your partner's condom broke or slipped) You made a mistake with your regular method (you forgot to take your birth control pills) You didn't use any birth control method
Which I did! I forgot to take my BCP!!!

Re: NWR: BCP???? HELP!!!!!!
Mmmm... Im a pharmacy tech for a long time... my pharmacist said no good cause I had a couple patients ask the same question...
So if you want to, and it says that, go for it
But I don't think it's necessary... you didn't forget to take an active pill... and BC is still good if you switch the weeks like you did.

Re: NWR: BCP???? HELP!!!!!!
not sure what you are asking about 'ovulating'
if you went through a whole pack and you are now on the sugar pills...you are fine, your body ovulated about 2 weeks ago and you are ready for your period soon if youre on the sugar pills
not taking the sugar pills will not affect your body at all

Re: NWR: BCP???? HELP!!!!!!
if youre reallllllly that worried, call your ob/gyn in the morning and ask him/her
but i can assure you they will tell you the same thing
unless there is something you are not explaining right

Re: NWR: BCP???? HELP!!!!!!
Yes. I've had my doctor tell me it's fine to take active pills and skip the sugar pills and then go BACK to the sugar pills and the BC will still work. I've been on pills forever and I've asked this question a hundred times cause I'm neurotic.
And then, again, you didn't forget to take an active pill.
So for both reasons, you're good.
I do understand what you're asking. and I do understand you're concern. But you're ok

Sorry ... I am so nervous I dont even know how i am saying things... 'ovulating' = I did go thru the Whole Active Package... But since I 'skipped' the sugar pills last month to prevent my period, and started to drink my 'Active' Pills, I am scared that i ovulated because of the switchin I did with Pills... Am i explaning myself or not?

No, you did a good job explaining. You didn't ovulate because you switched weeks, that's what I've been trying to say.
If the sugar pill is the only one you missed, you have no reason to worry.

I only missed Sunday's pill, which was a Supar Pill... and I took it exaclty 24hrs after it....
