Missed Ortho Tri-Cyclen

[baseballtennis]

I am 48 on Ortho TriCyclen for years. Friday morning I missed my day 13 pill, had sex on night of day 12, thursday night. Had sex on night of day 13,Friday. Took both day 13 & 14 on moringing of day 14, saturday. Should I be concern about pregnancy and if so can I take the over the counter plan B pill?

I'm not sure what the chances are of becomming pregnant at 48 with or with out the pill.  It has happened.  You are supposed to double up the next day after a missing a pill.  You will be fine.

[shygirl1981]

you should be protected, and don't need Plan B.

You did what you were supposed to do by taking two the next day so there is little chance of you being preg like .1 percent.

I have been on Ortho tri cyclen for years and have always been told to double up if I missed. I have never gotten pregnant when I had to double up, but some people have. I guess it just depends on the person.

Yep, I have been told the same thing, double up as soon as you take the next pill, just like you did.  (The morning after pill is just a really strong dose of b/c pills anyway, so it won't hurt you.)  I think if you miss 2 or 3 pills then you need back up till next month, but you should be fine.

I've been told by different doctors that if I miss a pill to take two the next day.  I don't think you run any risk of being pregnant if you do that.

I don't think you are supposed to take two pills at the same time.  Not sure that it does any harm but doesn't really  help either.  if you were only 24 hours in taking the pill it really is slim that you are pregnant.
