If you start your Birth Control on Sunday, it is not uncommon for your period to come slightly later than 28 days from the period in which you based your Sunday start. Your period will occur any time between 22-28 days from when you started the Ortho Tri-Cyclen Lo. The progesterone component of the birth control is what prevents you from having your period. The withdrawal of the progesterone (which starts with the placebos) causes the endometrium to become unstable and thus bleeding occurs. So, if you started the birth control a few days after your period, you may extend the time until your next period because you are supplementing progesterone for a few extra days than your body is used to and so menses won't occur until after the progesterone is removed (and the placebos are started).
Hi, As this is your first month on birth control, there's no real way of telling if you will get your period when your on the sugar pills. You may do but if you don't then it will arrive next month.
Ortho Cyclen and Ortho Tri-Cyclen have the same amount and type of estrogen, and the same type of progestin. Ortho Cyclen's active pills have the same amount of the progestin in every pill. In Tri-Cyclen, the progestin level varies from week to week. Both have a seven-day placebo period.
You can start either on the first day of your period, or on a Sunday (after you have made sure there is no way you are pregnant). Use a back-up form of birth control for the first month and make sure you take the pill at the same time everyday.
Ortho Tricyclen is made by Ortho.
