Switching from Patch

I just switched from the patch to Seasonale with no break inbetween. I was taking the Patch continuiously in an effort to stop having my period every month, and then decided it would just be better if i switched to Seasonale. Again I went directly from the patch to the pill, but I have since had unprotected sex in the first week of being on the Seasonale and I am really worried. Can you tell me if I am at risk to get pregnant now. Thank you.

Hi efaith27, welcome!

If you have been using both the patch and Seasonale correctly and haven't vomited or had diarrhea within 2 hours of taking your pill and aren't on meds. or supplements that could reduce the effectiveness of your protection, then you should be fine. Let us know how you like Seasonale, ok?

Good luck,

      Jill
