Re: SKIPPING PERIODS ON ORTHO TRI CYCLEN

Allison-- I've skipped my period on Ortho-Tri-Cyclen before by not taking the placebo week--- just starting a new pack after I take the last active pill.

BUT-- every time I've done it I've had some spotting. Sometimes light and only lasting a day or two, but other times it's lasted for 1-2 weeks.

When I talked to my Dr., she said that this occurred because the Tri-cyclen was a Tri-Phasal pill, and that a mono-phasal is better for skipping periods.

Hope this helps!
