A member asked:
Can you ovulate while switching cocs?started new coc after pill free week, zero late/missed pills, but changed intake sched from 1pm to 9pm w/new pack
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Should not: Your body won’t recognize the difference of one brand of birth control pills to another. If you took them as directed with no time off in between then they are just as effective as if you were on the same pill.
