From what I gathered, that means that it only works for birth control pills that have the same levels of hormones of each pill every single day of the month. Apparently, it does not work for birth control pills that have different levels of hormones for each week of the month, like Ortho TriCyclen. Sorry to get everyone confused!

That's good to know. You think my doctor would of told me that when I asked him if it would be okay if I did this.
