A member asked:

I want to switch from yaz (drospirenone and ethinyl estradiol) birth control to yazmin.. how and when do i change? is it immediately after i complete the pack of yaz (drospirenone and ethinyl estradiol) or should i wait?

Changing pills: It is recommended to start your new pill at the same time you would have started your next package of old pills. So not change in the middle of your cycle.
