You usually get your "period" or withdrawal bleed during the green pills it could be on number 1 or could be on number 7 all woman are different. I am on Ortho Tri too and usually get it on the 3rd placebo pill. You usally dont go by what your period used to be becasue you are on the pills now so it is regulated more like clockwork. I dont know about the first two weeks when you had unprotected sex becasue I used backup such as condoms as per my doc. I was told just to be on the safe side but the insert for the pack says you are protected after 7 days thats if you took it everyday not missing any as what the insert says also. If you dont get your period with is common when starting the pill just continue onto the second pack but if you dont feel comfortable doing that then get a HPT and if it is negative continue but normally it might just be getting used to the pill. Hope this helps.
