How Should Ortho Tri-Cyclen Lo Be Taken?
Hi, I just have a question about my birth control. I take ortho tri-cyclen lo and I missed a week and 4 days of my pills right after my last period ended. I have a pack left bit was wondering how I go about taking them since I missed so many. Do I just start where I should be on them? If not what do I do? Thank you

Since it's been almost 2 weeks since you haven't taken your pills, you should take:
1. 2 pills today
2. 2 pills tomorrow
3. 1 pill till you finish the pack.
Please remember to use a backup birth control method during the next 7 days. I hope I have answered your question. If you have any further questions I am happy to help.
