you should start when you take your last five pills.. the green ones.. i take the same birth control as you.. and the thing that sucks.. is.. i usually only had my period for 3days and now.. i have it for a full 5 to 7.. it SUCKS.. lol.. so yeah.. u should definitely start on your last 5 pills!

Once you've been on Ortho for a few months, your body will develop a new rhythm. Depending on whether you were a 'Sunday starter' or a 'Day One starter' with your pill, it might take time for your body to adjust.

Generally, your period should come within the first few days of taking the inactive pills.

When you start the "green" or "inactive pills" you will start your period.

I start the inactive pills on sunday, and didn't if I didn't skip any pills in the last week, my periods will usually start with spotting on Wednesday. I will bleed a moderate amount starting thursday afternoon and use pads for moderately heavy flows thursday night, and all day friday and saturday. Sunday is always a weird day for me, it's still too heavy for a panty protector, but i'll barely fill the other pads halfway in 6 hours, and I don't like to leave them on even that long. I wear panty protectors the next monday, but usually by monday night it's gone.

i'm not on Orth tricyclen Lo, but i am on Ortho tricyclen. for the first couple of months, you will get it any time between the last couple of days of the active pills and the first day or two of the active pills of the new pack. after your body gets used to the change of hormones in your body, your period should regulate somewhere during your inactive pills. i've been on it for 3 months, and i've been getting it around the same time each month, which is about the 4th day on the inactive pills. sometimes, if you don't take the pill at close to the same time every day, or if you forget, or just randomly, you could have spotting, but don't worry about that, it's normal. hope this helped!

I do not use it but with all birth control pills, it causes your period to come later or earlier than the expected date. Some days you'll spot and when you do get your period it either lasts longer than normal or it's shorter than normal. If you have any major concerns you should contact your doctor or call the 800 number for the pills. Hope this helped.
