Birth Control Switch
Posted: 07-11-07 09:10am

I was taking Loestra for about 6 months and because of the side effects they switched me to Lutera. When I got the new pack I finished off the old pack of Loestra and then started like I regularly would with the same kind. ANYWAY, all my body is doing is adapting to the new estrogen levels and the new pills right? I havnt had unprotected sex but the gyno didnt tell me if it would effect anything if I did. Anyone know the answer?

You should be immediately protected, but if you're unsure, wait until you have taken the new pills correctly for one week. Then, you are protected for sure.

Thanks for the reply. I assumed I was protected but sometimes you never know about how your body is going to react!
