veritas25 Posted December 27, 2005 Share Posted December 27, 2005 hi, i started my second cycle of tri-cyclen lo, but because im on vacation, i messed up the time differences and started the cycle a day early (meaning that there were 6 days between, not the usual 7). i decided it would be better to continue taking the pills, instead of skipping a day...do you think this will have any major effects? thanks for any input!

venus777 Posted December 27, 2005 Share Posted December 27, 2005 I think it'll be totally fine. At least you didn't miss a pill that'd be different. I think you did the right thing by continuing taking the pills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vanilla Posted December 27, 2005 Share Posted December 27, 2005 yes best bet is to contact your gynecologist or your local planned parenthood to verify your method was acceptable. best of luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FCTex Posted December 29, 2005 Share Posted December 29, 2005 You should be fine, the only thing that it would have done, is that it would have shortened your "period" that month, by one day.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veritas25 Posted December 30, 2005 Author Share Posted December 30, 2005 You should be fine, the only thing that it would have done, is that it would have shortened your "period" that month, by one day.. no complaints there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FCTex Posted December 31, 2005 Share Posted December 31, 2005 Yeah, because, correct me if I'm wrong(I've only dated one girl that was on birth control pills(Alesse), the other on the patch).. But you have 3 weeks of active pills, and 1 week of "nothing" really. Just pills to keep you in the habit of taking them.. Well, you "skipped" a blank pill and started the active pills, which would have ended your period short of the full week.. Still check with your health care provider, but I wouldn't worry to much. Perhaps be a little careful when having sex for atleast a week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birdgirl Posted January 6, 2006 Share Posted January 6, 2006 I'd use a backup method and ask your doctor. No point in taking any chances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
