I've been taking Ortho Tri Cyclen Lo for about 3 months now. I accidently missed one dark blue pill and took it as soon as possible (which was the next day. I take my pills around 10:00 pm). I've been on the green inactive pills for about 3 days now, and my period still hasn't come yet and I had sex yesterday and didn't use any backup birth control and my boyfriend ejaculated inside me twice. I've never had a late period. Discounting yesterday, the last time I had sex was 31 days ago and I didn't use any backup contraception. I'm really worried I'm pregnant! PLEASE HELP!

I wouldn't stress yourself out so much. If you took the pill as soon as you remembered you'll be okay. Your pill pack will even say that you can miss 1 pill and still be protected without a back up method of contraception. Just have some patience, it should come! Try not to stress out so much. Sometimes it took me 5 days on the placebos to get my period.

It isn't unusual for your periods to take a while to become regular once you're on the pill. Missing a single pill doesn't decrease the effectiveness much, and sometimes it can take 4 or 5 days of placebos before your period comes. HTH.
