A member asked:

Is it a good idea to change your birth control after a while? and which pill is most recommended?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Don't just change...: ...For the sake of change. If you find something that works for you, keep doing it. Depending on your individual circumstances your best method of birth control may change. Talk with your doctor about this.
