Is Switching Form Orho Evra Patch To Nordette,safe?
Hi there, this is regarding birth control. I used a birth control pill, nordette for a year or so, then one day forgot to take it, so i then got my period, after that when I used nordette I got my periods twice a month, because of that incident. So after that I stopped using it and then a few months back I started using the Orho Evra patch, but now I want to go back on the pill, because I'm afraid of the patch side effects. Can I do it and if I do can it be harmful to my body?
