A member asked:

I changed from one combined birth control pill to another combined pill. is a back up method needed during the first week? i started my new pill pack on the same day i would normally.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Even : Even though the chance of pregnancy while switching pill brands is small, it doesn't hurt to use a back-up method of protection such as a condom for the first week you are on the new pills just to be safe.
