Do I Need Extra Protection After Switching Birth Control Pills?
I have been on Levora 28 tablets for 20 yrs. I recently switched to Chateal because of my insurance situation. Both are Levonorestrel & Ethinyl Estradiol Tablets. Do I need extra protection during the first week or month of switching? Do I need to worry about pregnancy during this time?
