So-what should I expect? At what point should I worry if my period still hasn't come? The doctor switched my pills because I was experiencing headaches on Tri-Cyclen-which worried her. She said the failure rate of this POP pill was almost similar to that of Tri-Cyclen-is she wrong? I'm currently in a remote area of Alaksa so I need to know as much as I can as going to a doctor is quite a difficult matter. Please help... Thank you. t Thu, 6 Mar 2003, R. Daniel Braun, MD wrote: >
