Took wrong week of birth control???!
Question: I am on Ortho Tri-Cyclen Lo. I was supposed to start taking the week one white pills last sunday. I must've put the pack in the dispenser the wrong way, because I ended up taking the last pill from Week 1 and started Week 2. I'm worried about the pregnancy risk, but the level of hormones increases for each week of pills so I should be safe ,correct? I'm calling my doctor as soon as they open to make sure. I'm just not sure about how I would go about taking the rest of the pills.

Ive done that before. Boy did I feels silly. I wasn't on one that increased in strength but then again maybe I was. Anyhow I was on the pill for about a year and had no scares. And i am a little on the scatter brain side. Anyhow double check with your doc and good luck.
