... accidentally took the 3rd week Fridays dose instead of the lighter 2nd week Friday dose. (It was 5 am, dark, and I was really tired, I can't believe I did that). I've talked to a pharmacist and 2 nurses and everyone has a different opinion as to what I should do. Any suggestions?
Tri-Sprintec - I've been on ortho tricyclen/tri sprintec for almost 20 years. Last week I?

I probably have another opinion. There isn't much difference between the light blue and blue pills. I would say take the friday pill you should have taken on the friday you won't have one. Then when you get to your placebo week, start a new pack. Use a condom until you are done with the first 7 days of the new pack. They don't bother to tell you in the literature what to do. The other option for you is call the company and ask their experts.
