Switching birth control Pills?!
Question:
Switching birth control Pills?
I have been dealing with constant (EVERY DAY) breakthrough bleeding for 6 weeks now. My doc switched be about a month ago to Losetrin 1/20fe, but even after having my period at the end of the pack, it stopped for half a day, came back a bit, then went away again. In order to prevent another 6 weeks of bleeding, my doctor has perscribed me Femcon, a higher does pill. My question is, I have taken the next two active pills of Loestrin already, and my doc said I could swtich right to the Femcon tonight: Will I be protected from pregnancy if I have unprotected sex this weekend? I am going away on vacation, so i really need to know. She said I should use protection just in case, but I should be fine. I need a more definite answer. I take my pills the same time every day, never missing any, and the femcon has the same "ingredients" as the loestrin, so I am thinking I should be ok? Thanks!!

If the doc says use protection use it they know more than we do
