Birth Control question...Ortho Cyclen!
Question: Birth Control question!.!.!.Ortho Cyclen
Hey, I am in a bit of a pickle!!
I'm on Ortho Cyclen (not to be confused with Ortho Tri-Cyclen or Ortho Tri-Cyclen Lo)!. Every pill has the same dosage of hormones; they're all the same blue color!. I take these for 21 days, then I take the inactive ones!.
However!. I was on vacation and had to open a new pack and popped out the pill under saturday!. Only when I returned home and stuck it in its case did I realize I took the pill for a week after the pill I normally take to start (does that make sense!?)!.
Anyways!. Since all the pills are the same dosage, will that keep me covered as far as oral contraceptives go!?
Any and all help appreciated!!

You are fine!. I have done that before just keep making sure that you take the pills that wont give you your period before you take the pills that will because if you don't then it can throw off your cycle!. You will not get pregnant if you chose to have sex!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
If they are all the same dosage, yes!. I would read the instructions to be sure they are!.
I know I was on Ortho Tri-Cyclen at one point and not all the pills were the same despite there colors, but perhaps that's the difference between the Tri and normal!.
But if they are the same, as long as you take an active pill every day your supposed to it doesn't matter what day it was marked!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
