Switching from Loestrin 24 to Ortho Tr Cyclen Lo?!
Question: Last month my doctor switched m from Ortho Tri Cyclen Lo to Loestrin 24. I hated it and asked me to switch me back. Which he did. I went on a trip and forgot to take my birth control pills with me. So, basically I haven't taken them since Thursday night. I missed two pills in a row. The website is telling me to take one pill until Sunday and then start a new pack of pills the next day. Here's the problem. I will be switching back to Ortho Tri Cyclen Lo. What do I do in this case? I have three active pills left before my period shouls start. I took two pills today because I didn't read the website before reacting.
I'm not worried about being pregnant because, honestly, these pills left me devoid of a sex drive and there's no way in hell I conceived a child this month.
So, if there is anyone who knows what I should do I would appreciate the advice. Thanks.

Hmm... I don't know what the correct thing to do is in this case... I had to reread that three times! I think I would just go to the inactive pills for the week that way you get your period, and then start the Ortho on Sunday as normal. Just use condoms until the new stuff has the chance to kick in. Hope this helps!
