Switching from minastrin 24 to orthotricyclenlo am i still protected? finished minastrin and started otcl day after placebo pill. had sex? pregnancy?

Should be fine: Switching from one type of combination birth control pill to another type of combination birth control pill, while not missing any days after the end of the pack of the prior pill, should not cause a lapse in protection against pregnancy. Contraceptive effects should still be good.
