Default Ortho-Tri Cyclen plz help!!

Ok normally i take the pill this month, i left on vacation and my cousin tossed them out like a dork. i figure that was my last refill, im not sexual with anyone so ok. ill get them next month. well ive had sex (with a condom) but my period is late. it was early last month a couple days, i think the trip through it off...i kn ow on the little paper it comes with it says "if u miss a certain amount you might skip ur period" but ive messed up sometimes and that never happened. could my worrying make it be later? or does the pill do that if i stop, because normally before the pill i wasnt regular but w/ the pill i was like clock work??? plzzzz someone help me out...i need some answers...ive checked the websites but the dont answer that question...

Yes, both the stress of worrying, and an abrupt stoppage of the pills could affect your period, make it late, early, heavier/lighter than usual, or even cause you to skip it all together.

If you used the condom properly, your chances of being pregnant are very slim, so if it were me, I would just wait it out.

Usually, even though you stop the pill, it is still in your system for awhile, for some people as long as 3 months or more, however some people have body systems that flush it out right away, so they miss one pill and get pregnant, while others can miss several and never have a problem.

Unless you start showing unusual symptoms that point to pregnancy, no need to worry.

My information is not guaranteed correct. I do not get them right all the time, but I do enjoy the hunt~
