A member asked:

Is a dramatic change in mood common after forgetting to take your birth control for 2 weeks?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Pregnant?: Purchase a home pregnancy test. They become positive at about the same time you'd start your next expected period. If it's negative, repeat in 1 week.

I was advised to swap my birth control pills from 0.3 estrogen to 0.2 estrogen due to sour breasts and quite big mood swings. Does this change have a big impact or it doesn't change too much? Is it better to have less estrogen generally?
