Two months ago I skipped the sugar pills (I'm on Ortho Tri Cyclen) and went straight to the new pack while I was in Tampa visiting my boyfriend so I wouldn't have my period. This month I accidently forgot to start my new pack on the day I was suppose to and on the second day took both the first and second day pills and the month before that I skipped my sugar pills entirely because I forgot to bring the pack when I went out of town. My period hasn't started but I am getting my usual cramps and bloating and craving cheese before I start my period. I've notice though that I am getting a brownish discharge right now and everyonce in awhile I do see some blood. When I made myself skip a period I had the samething for about two weeks which I heard is normal.

I was wondering because I missed the first day of this pack and took two the second day could it have anything to do with me not starting my period on time and having the brownish discharge like I did when I made myself skip a period? Thanks in advance for any advice

in short: yes... also, skipping periods isn't recommended for tri-cyclic pills like ortho tri cyclen, it's supposed to be for 'monophasic' pills, the kind that all have the same dosage in them.

I was told that it doesn't really matter what kind you are on....so I shouldn't be worried if I don't get my period this month??
