I have been on Yasmin and am now at the end of my 2nd month. I am starting my 3rd month of using BC with Aviane because of the moodiness i was experiencing with Yasmin. My question is do i now have to use a backup method because i am starting a new pill or am i safe to not have to use one??

The patient information leaflet that came with your pills should give you the manufacturers answer to that question. Many posters to this board use back-up during the first cycle of a pill switch just for peace of mind. On a new pill AF is probably going to arrive on a different schedule and perhaps be heavier/lighter, longer/shorter as well. If you have been using back-up then that minimized any fear of being pg when things are different during your placebo week.
Good luck
