Swapping pills
Posted: Thu Jul 16, 2015 3:08 pm
Hey Scarleteen,
I was away from home for a month and forgot my pills, so a friend let me borrow hers to stop my period from coming, but they were a different brand from my own. I've been home 4 days and I'm back on my usual pills. My question was just that because I changed the type of pills without the 7 day break (so mid cycle) will it effect the pill as contraception?
I had sex earlier, after about 10 seconds I realised I could be at risk and continued with extra protection. I should be fine though as I've not stopped taking pills, although different types?
