My girlfriend takes Otho tri-cyclen lo and this month while taking the pill everyday she notice the week before her period she was a day behind on the order she was taking her pills. For example she was taking Thursday's pill on Friday, how in the hell this happened I couldn't tell you. Now we had sex unprotected like we always do this month, is there a strong chance that she could get pregnant from this mistake she made. Her period is 1 to 2 days late, is this from taking the pills out of sequence also she has been under alot of stress. By the way the pills that she was off sequence with were the active 3 week pills.

usually it's ok to miss one day if you doub;e up the dose the next day, but you're not meant to tdouble up more often than that. she could be late from stress or from the way the hormones in the pill regulate her cycle. your best bet involves telling a doctor and getting an early pregnancy test (a blood test) from a doctor (not one in a package) and finding out if the late period means there is a pregnancy.

First of all she can still get pregnant even if she is on the pill...many people get pregnant on the pill....so if she is off schedule then there is a good chance that she could be pregnant....when you are on the pill you don't have to take it exactly every time every day..but you should take it the same day...it can be hard to remember because I have a hard time..but I never take them like she does....and once I take my inactive pills my cycle comes down in that period of time...maybe you all should lay off the unprotected sex until she gets from under stress and is able to take the pills on time...but just in case get her a pregnancy test...and I hope all goes well good luck(:
