birth Control Pills mix up

Unread post by Dancerlove234 »

I am on Ortho Tri Cyclen Lo. I always take my pill on time and everyday. On Tuesday I thought I lost my pill so I took Wednesday's pill (Tuesday), the next day I ended up finding Tuesday's pill so I took it for wednesday. They were all the same color (white)!! Am I still fully protected? Or did that mess me up.

Hi dancerlove,

Yes, since it sounds like the pills were interchangeable, you can assume you are still at your full protection level.
And you to whom adversity has dealt the final blow/with smiling bastards lying to you everywhere you go/turn to and put out all your strength of arm and heart and brain/and like the Mary Ellen Carter rise again.
