Switching brands of pills
| Sun, 01-28-2007 - 9:38pm |
I am switching from sprintec (the generic for ortho-cyclen) to necon 1/35 (the generic for ortho novum 1/35). I'm just wondering if I'll need to use back-up at all with my first pack of new pills. I've started to take them right after the placebos for my old pills. Also, would I have been protected during the placebo week at the end of my old pill pack before beginning the new necon pack? I had unprotected sex during that time, and it didn't even occur to me that I may have to use back-up since I would be changing pills for the next month. Thanks so much!
