I have been taking Ortho-tricyclen for 1 year and 11 months now. I have only messed up a pill once. It was the first pill of a new pack and was only about 12 hours late. Although, I was told no backup method was needed I waited a week before having any sexual contact with my long time boyfriend.

Last month, I had a very very lite period. It was also about 2 days early, which was weird for me. Now this month, I started my period suddenly and it had stopped. Then, I had a bit more bleeding this morning. Then, it's stopped again.

I had started working as well, but the job isn't stressful. Also, my sleep schedule changed.

Do I need to worry about pregnancy at all? If so, when can I take a test? I'm REALLY freaked out. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks!

Not sure if this helps but...

A few months back... my period came a week early and I was on ortho-tricyclen... I freaked out went to the gyn and she was like "eh it happens sometimes... if it keeps happening let me know".

I have been on ortho-tricyclen for 3 years now and over the course of time I have noticed that aspects of my period change ex. severity of cramps, how many days my period lasts, the flow... I have talked to my regular doctor and the gyn and both seem to agree that it happens.

Thanks! I called planned parenthood and one office said not to worry, another said probably nothing but to take a test.

be safe and take a test

You can take a test straightaway. The one-step ones that you hold in your urine flow for 10 seconds are probably the easiest to use for most people - the most common UK brand is called Clearblue, don't know about anywhere else.
