I am planning something for my husband's birthday and want to delay my period this month- I use Ortho-Tri-Cyclen. I have read two things: one, just skip the green "placebo" week and start the next pack... and two, start the next pack in reverse order (dark blue pills first, etc). I am VERY paranoid about getting pregnant so I thought I would seek advice here. Yes, I am going to talk to my doctor as well but thought I'd see if anyone had experience. :)
