I was taking Ortho Tri Cyclen-Lo & i just changed to Yaz last week. I didn't take a break between the two pills but I'm still not sure if I should wait for some time & use also another back-up method of contraception till the new pill starts working???

There should be no lapse in birth control, but the doc usually reccommends that you use back up for a month just in case.

I would recommend getting off the pill and using something else. I have used an IUD for many many years. No fuse, no mess and no forgetting to take a pill.

if you change it but dont leave a gap it should still work but just be on the safe side for a couple weeks or a pack and use condoms til then or dont do it
i changed before and didnt gap, did nt have sex either tho but thats cuz the hubby was in iraq

I would use back up with the switch for a month or so until the new medicine has time to get into my body and my body adjusts.

if you just switch from one to the other and do it at the begining of youre cycle you should have no problemsâ¥
