Birth control pill. is excessive saliva a bad symptom? if i switch to the ring 1 wk in, do i only use ring for 2 wks instead of 3 bc pill? thank you.

Not typical: Changes in saliva production are not a typical side effect of the birth control pill and I would not recommend switching because of that. It is reasonable to use the ring for two weeks if you are one week into the pill if you switch on day 8.
