Switched birth control pill doctor said no need extra caution so had unprotected sex the 6th day in. now i have slight cramps and discharge.help?

Common Reaction: Probably ok. Continue your pills & check a pregnancy test at the end of your pill pack. It is common to have break-through bleeding and cramping with a change in birth control pill type. If switching to a lower dose pill, it is usually safer to use condoms for the first 2 weeks. Take care.
