That's right, the order of pills in Ortho Tri-Cyclen is white, then light blue, then regular blue, then the green ones in the middle (if you have a 28-pill pack)
Ortho Tricyclen is made by Ortho.
The sugar or placebo pills are green in Ortho Tri Cyclen.
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.
All Ortho Micronor pills are identical; there are no placebo pills in the pack.
If you missed tow pills and had breakthrough bleeding, resuming your pills should stop the bleeding. However, since you missed two pills you are not protected this month, so use a backup method of birth control.
No, Janssen makes Ortho birth control pills at the time of this writing (2012).
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.
The white pills come first when taking Ortho Tri Cyclen Lo.
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.
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.
