My doctor gave me Ortho Triclyen Lo. I already had my period last week and the Sunday already passed. I was wondering if it would be okay for me to take the first pill this Sunday?

I should also state that my husband is deployed so I'm not having sex and there's no way I can become pregnant. He'll be home in 3 months.

For certain call your Doctor for this question!

You should ask your doctor. That said, having been on the pill for about 15 years or so, I would say no...you need to start it within a week (it may actually be 5 days) of the first day of your last period. If too much time has passed, you would be much better off waiting till the next cycle.

it is better to wait until the next cycle, but if you hadnt had sex and there is no way for you to be pregnant you can start anyday. it will probably mess up your first cycle though and you will not be protected until you finish the pack.

Sure, it's fine. It's going to offset your period by one week, but it's OK.
