The green pills of Ortho Tri-cyclen are placebo and do not contain hormones. If you accidentally replaced a green pill with two white pills, throw away the pill you missed and keep taking one green pill a day until the pack is empty. If you continue taking white pills, it may lead to persisting follicular cyst, endometrial hyperplasia, and bleeding.
BUT,
if you missed one active pill (either white, or light blue, or dark blue), you would've take two pills on the day that you remember; then take one pill per day for the rest of the pack. No backup birth control method would be required.
If you missed two or more active (not green) pills, you might not have a period during the month.
In any events, if you miss a period for two months in a row, call your provider or 1-800-222-1222.
