hi everybody i would call my doctors office but they closed at 5, lol so im gone ask yall. i already talk to my doctor about stoping the B/C and she said i could stop now or just take it until the pack runs out then she said just take it into it runs out. but to my knowledge at least on Ortho-tricyclenio Lo the last 7 pills don't do anything for u really. it is 4 rows, the first 7 are white, then light blue, then a darker blue, then the green. she said the green is really just a reminder pill its not important. so would it be ok to just stop after i take the last pill dark blue?

Yep ,the ones you take when you are having your period (just before, and during) are the sugar pills, just so you can take one every single day without worrying where you are in your cycle.

Yes, it's fine to skip the green pills, they are just sugar pills and don't contain any medicine. Unless you start forgetting to take the regular pills, then you might want to get back in the habit of a daily pill.

Those last green pills are just sugar pills anyway. you can stop after the dark blue ones.

Yes it is okay, they are just sugar pills, I don't even take them, they are just there so you don't get out of the habit of taking pills everyday. Good Luck!

It would be OK to stop on the 3rd week of pills.

My wife, a medical professional, never took her fourth week. It's there only to keep you in the daily habit.

I have never taken the last week. They just don't want you to get out of habbit.
