I was at the end of my ortho tri cyclen and taking the sugar pills last week. I was to start my new pack Monday. Turns out I had less packs than i thought. I had sex already earlier on this day and my boyfriend did ejaculate inside of me. I couldn't go to pick up my new pack as the local planned parenthood was closed already and closed the following day. My plan was to go in on wednesday, by the time i managed to get there it was closed. It was also closed today. I took matters into my own hands and went to the local clinic and managed a prescription. Today (thursday) is my first pill in over a week. I'm at least 3 days late from the start of my pack. I took two today and plan to take two tomorrow to make up for these lost pills. Is this the correct preocedure to follow? Also is my risk of pregnancy high?

Jess,

Take your pack as you normally would. You missed at least 3 pills to take them all at once. Since you doubled up already, just take the rest of the pack one at a time and don't forget to take them daily. Your chances of getting pregnant during your placebo pills is not high-- but of course, always possible. I wouldn't worry about it too much but do keep your next pack handy a week in advance so that you know you have it.
