The sugar or placebo pills are green in Ortho Tri Cyclen.
The first pill of the Ortho Tricyclen cycle is white.
The answer depends on the brand of pill you're taking. If it's Ortho Tricyclen or Ortho Tricyclen Lo, you should start with the white pill. If you're taking another brand, ask your halth care provider or pharmacist.
Ortho Tricyclen and Yasmin are different birth control pills with different ingredients.
I had no weight gain on Ortho Novum 1/35, Tricyclen, Tricyclen Lo, Nordette, or Ortho Novum 777.
In some pill brands, such as Ortho TriCyclen, the green pills are placebos aka sugar pills. In other birth control pills, like Ortho Micronor, the green pills are active pills that prevent pregnancy. You should ask your health care provider or pharmacist for information specific to your brand.
The white pills come first when taking Ortho Tri Cyclen Lo.
I have been taking the same pills as you and just stopped taking it mid month. may not have been the brightest idea because now my body is going through changes that Im not to sure are pregnancy related. Once you take your last pill before your sugar pills that would be the best time to stop.
Yes ortho evra has the same possible side effects as taking the pill does although some of the effects differ in serverity between the pill and ortho evra.
Yes, you can skip the sugar pills on Tricyclen Lo if you like. Usually the triphasic pills -- the ones with three colors of active pills denoting three levels of hormones -- aren't the ideal ones to use to skip periods; you may be more likely to have unscheduled bleeding than if you used a different pill. If you have that problem, and want to skip often, consider calling your health care provider to discuss a possible pill change to a monophasic pill.
First, Ortho-Novum is a brand, not a specific birth control pill. Yaz has a different progestin in it than the Ortho Novum pills on the market as of 2013.
Sprintec is monophasic; Tri-Sprintec is triphasic.
Ortho Tri-Cyclen is a 35 mcg tricyclic pill that's available in generic form.
