Answers:
i've changed my pill a few times, if your using the combined pill (28 days on 7 day break) and you are changing to another combined pill then no you dont necessarily need to use extra protection, you should start your new pill on your first break day ie take your current pill then continue straight onto the new one with out a break!.
if you are changing from the combined to the pop or mini pill then yes you do need to use extra contraception for the next 7 days!.
your doctor should also be able to advise you!.
i have used the pill for 8 years and changed 4 times using the combined pill and i have not fell pregnant!. Www@Answer-Health@Com

As long as you don't skip any days in between switching them you should be fine!. Www@Answer-Health@Com
