What would happen if i switched my birth control?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Likely nothing: Many people switch birth control methods.Better to switch and still be protected than to stop one method and need to start again. See http://www.Reproductiveaccess.Org/fact_sheets/switching_bc.Htm about how to still be protected when switching.
