Changing Birth Control

Unread post by HsurNiarb »

I am changing lots of medications up, and one of those is my birth control pill. I am halfway through my old one. Should I start at the beginning of the new one, the middle to pick up from where I am, or wait until this cycle is over to start the new one?

Hi Hsurniarb,

That's a question it's best to ask the doctor you've been seeing (especially if you're changing other meds at about the same time). They'll be able to tell you what the best process for you ending the current birth control is.
