A member asked:
Just changed to a different generic form of my birth control. i never got my period this month--preg test neg... could it be because i changed pills?

Yes: While the active ingredients may be the same the other ingredients differ from generic to generic and some people do well on one but not another. You may find that you do fine on this generic after a couple of packages or you may need to switch back. Unfortunately, there is no way to predict how any given person will react to a change. Wish I could be more help.
