A member asked:

Can i change the time i take trinessa (norgestimate and ethinyl estradiol) to late night dose without having to wait till i start the new pack? as in, a double dose?

Wait: You might want to wait until your next cycle. If you take 2 pills in one day, you will change your start day. I'd you wait to the next day, your north control should be ok, but you may have breakthrough bleeding.
