I'm currently taking ortho-tri-cyclen and have always been on time and have regular periods. I just had my period the last week of January and it started again Feb 5 (wed) which is very unusual for me, then I just realized I've been taking my birth control pills backwards for this month for 2 weeks now what should I do? I don't know how this happened
I accidentally took my birth control pills backwards what should I do?

You'll need a new pack and start in the beginning. Use a condom until you've taken 7 pills. That's an interesting problem, I too would like to know how you did that, so we can tell people to avoid it, lolol... believe me, its not the strangest one I've ever heard.
I just did the same thing. Please have caution when you get the same pills from a different manufacturer. Pills always start left to right and this pack started right to left. I just realized 10 days in that I was taking mine the wrong way!
