Switching From Patch to Pill Posted: 11-10-05 16:49pm


Does anyone know if you're supposed to use back-up if you switch from patch to pill?? I've switched from pill to patch and back to pill and i'm curious of what to do. I'm supposed to start my period sat. The 12th and i'm nervous that i'm prego. Thanks! Jess

I just switched from the patch to the pill. Use the patch until you get your period and start the pill on that sunday. As long as you start the pill within a week of ending the patch you'll be fine.
