Birth Control Issue

[fantomatiquevie.livejournal.com]

Hello! This problem is really specific, so hopefully someone can enlighten me. I am currently on Nortrel (generic for Modicon) bcp. I realized today that I totally forgot to pick up my prescription on Monday (2/20) which is also the day I start using it. Basically, I'm supposed to be on my third pill today (2/22). How do I take these pills to catch up? Is it two today (Wednesday) and two tomorrow? Also, I started my placebo pills last Monday (2/13) and started my period on Wednesday, and had unprotected sex on Friday or Saturday (can't remember which one) but have not had unprotected sex since then. Am I okay, since I was on my period and had not started BC? Thanks for all the help, I totally freak out when it comes to the idea of being pregnant!

I don't have any input beyond what others have already offered, but I did want to point out that "spazz" has some ableist connotations (http://disabledfeminists.com/2009/12/04/ableist-word-profile-spazspak/) (originating with "spastic" physical conditions, such as with some types of cerebral palsy) and as such can be hurtful or alienating to some VP members. I realize that you probably didn't intend it that way, but I'm wondering if you'd be willing to edit your post to use a different term? Thanks!

I did not intend offense (as I am obviously calling myself that, and not anyone else). But as I do not want to engender a "flame war", I will change the wording.
