    No period yet, First month on Ortho Tri-Cyclen.

    Hi! I just finished my first pack of Ortho Tri Cyclen. I was on Junel Fe for two years before I began Ortho Tri Cyclen. My OBGYN prescribed the Ortho because the Junel was causing breakthrough bleeding, even though I was taking my pills correctly.

    My partner and I always use a backup method of birth control (condoms) even though I am on the pill, and this past month has been no different. As far as I know, there were no slip-ups with the condoms and I take my pills around the same time every night. The furthest I ever take them apart is by maybe 30 minutes but it is usually very precise. So, I took my last active pill Thursday and usually get my period by Saturday night/Sunday morning. It is now Sunday afternoon and still no sign of a period.

    Could this be because of the pill change, or should I be concerned about pregnancy?

    I am a very anxious person when things like this happen.

    On regular pills it usually took me 4 days to get my period and then it would last a day or 2 in to the next pack. On seasonique I have a 2 day period that is over before I start the next pack.
