Ok, quick question....

I currently take Ortho Tri Cyclin Lo (sp?), I was supposed to start back on my pills (after the "green week") this past Sunday, due to an insurance screw up at the phramacy (long story) I won't be getting them until tonight after work. Should I start them right away? Should I wait till Sunday? The only reason I ask if I should wait till sunday is b/c you're if you wanna do that skip weekends thing it tells you to take it the first sunday after your period starts...so...any suggestions?

Either way you're going to have to use backup protection for a week because you've gone more than 7 days without an active pill (and should be using condoms now).

Whether you start tonight or Sunday is up to you. If you're used to and like being a Sunday starter, you can wait until Sunday. If you'd feel more comfortable starting it tonight, you can do that and cut this month's placebo week *short*, starting your next pack again on Sunday, taking only a 5 day break.
