    Birth control taken a day early? Help!
    I'm on ortho tri cyclen lo 21 day birth control, there are no placebo pills.. The package says to take a 7 day break, so I would've taken the new pack on Sunday but I instead started it today (Saturday) would this change the effectiveness of the pill? Or elongate my period?
    Please help!
    & thank you in advance
