Switch mid cycle?
| Fri, 10-29-2004 - 5:51pm |
I am currently on Aleese, and i can't stand it. The pill is perfect except for the fact that every since i started taking it i have broken out. I am not one with perfectly clear skin, i would have a pimple or two but now my face looks just awful. I was on the patch and i want to switch back. Does anyone know if it is at all possible to switch off the pill and onto the patch before i begin my period again? I can't stay on this pill any longer, and i have a week or two until i get my period, but i don't want my face getting any worse. Please help.

I'm sorry you're having problems hon! You 'can' switch but it would probably be easier on your body (complexion aside) if you waited until the end of your pack. If at all possible you should give Aleese at least 3 cycles as it takes that long for your body to adjust to the hormones in a pill before you know if it will be right for you. If you just can't wait, then sure, bail... but be prepared for side effects as your body adjusts to the patch again. Let us know how you’re doing, ok?
Good luck,
Jill
