I know there was already a post about Errin, but I had a question about it as well. My doctor recently switched me from Yasmin to Errin, and didn't explain much about it. When I picked my prescription up, the pharmacy tech asked if I would like the pharmacist to go over the pills with me. Since I'd never taken this brand before, I said yes. The pharmacist came over and basically said, "Take them like you've taken them before." So I took them like Yasmin. I didn't take the last week of pills, since with Yasmin, those are the placebos. I was supposed to get my period Tuesday the 29th, and have still not gotten it. I took two pregnancy tests, and both came out negative. Are you even supposed to get a period on this pill? And has anyone else had a similar experience? I'm going to take another test on Tuesday, and probably call my doctor, but right now I need some kind of feedback to put my mind at ease.
The thing that really gets me is that neither my doctor nor the pharmacist told me that Errin isn't as effective as Yasmin, and neither told me about the last week of pills. I understand that they come with a pamphlet, but I am absolutely shocked that the pharmacist told me to "Take them like you've taken them before." Maybe he didn't know I'd been on Yasmin, but I would assume that shows up in their system.
So if someone can answer some questions for me, that'd be much appreciated.
Thanks!
