Can changing birth control pills cause amenorrhea? i just switched brands of birth control. can this cause my recent amenorrhea?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Some ocps have a higher rate of amenorrhea (specifically, lo loestrin has a higher rate of it), also - if your dr put you on a 'continuous' type of pill (like lybrel) - then absolutely.
