Active User, very eHealthy

The pill change can make your period late or cause it to be missed completely.

Continue taking the new pill as you were told and dont stop taking it unless your doctor says you should.

The new pill, can also cause break through bleeding and irregular cycles for the first few months whilst your body is adjusting to it.
