No I promise. It is NOT effective right when you start taking it. Trust me. And they are not all the same hormones. They are all different levels of hormones and some have just progestrin and some have estrogen and progestrin. You have to wait a full month (at least) to be fully protected. It's just like when you start taking birth control pills for the first time after never have taken them. There is that waiting period for the pills to be 99% effective.

I don't want to argue but if you read the directions it tells you right on the same day starter you are protected sunday starter use protection for 7 days you can ask you gyno it's true and i'm sorry yes there are different types of pills some are tri fasic and some with different hormones what i ment to say was get one simmilar to what you are on and it will be the same hormones but as far as the protection i to thought it took a month to kick in but really it doesn't just read your insert and also i have talked with my gyno many times to make sure and i have never had a problem even after i had my baby and restarted my pills i was fine. If you don't take them at a regular time and don't take them everyday then you have a bigger risk of getting pregnant.

Well, I've just had too many friends get pregnant from switching brands. And their doctors told them when they switched brands that they had a risk of getting pregnant, and they did get pregnant. And my hubby told me that he doesn't want to risk me getting pregnant right now just to switch brands of birth control pills. Obviously there is at least SOME risk of getting pregnant if you switch.

Everyone has their own opinon and i'm not knocking yours i have switched brands a few times and never had a problem but there are rare cases that it could happen if you don't take them like you are supposed to or if you have unprotected sex before the recomended time I would never take medical advice from a chat forum it is always best to talk to your doctor about it but a forum can help you ask very good questions and the pills that make you skip your period don't work for everyone they didn't work for me.

I agree. Don't take medical advice from a chat forum. Talk to you doctor.

Girl! I know that you're not trying to argue with me! You are one of my very favs, too! And I wasn't trying to argue with you either. My motto is, different strokes for different folks. What works for some may not work for others and vice versa. Don't take medical advice from a chat forum and always talk to your doctor. That is FANTASTIC advice!
