Birth Control Switch?
Can anyone tell me if it's ok to switch to a different birth control in the middle of the month?
I've had terrible mood swings since I started taking this one and I want to switch to a lower dose to see if that helps. My doctor wrote me a prescription for it but she's out of town so I can't call her and ask. I walk around feeling depressed and emotionally unattached, especially when it comes to sex. I want to have sex. The sex is amazing! But getting to that point of actually doing it is such a task!
I read on here that it may be because of the brand and maybe I should switch to a more expensive bc? Anyone have any advice? I really want to be myself again!
Thanks ladies!
Re: Birth Control Switch?
It is reccomended that you switch only after the first day of your period has begun. Usually they tell you to start on a sunday so you remember to switch packs etc. It leads to less break through bleeding.
Can't help you on the sex drive thing. Sorry.
Can you call the doctors office and get a nurse?
My doctor and pharmacist just told me that it was okay if i did this for the same reasons, the mail order pharmacy screwed the order up and sent me generic and it made me BSC so i was told that i could start a new pack whenever i got the new order. But i would ask your pharmacist or call the doctors office and get a nurse.
THIS! You need to give your body a little time adjust, and flush out the one that is not working for you. You can stop this one whenever you want, but I would not start the new one until your period starts.
i switched a few different medications is the past 8 years.... my favorite was the ring...
i would recommend waiting til the meds you have noe are done. wait til your period ends to begin a new one.
when it comes to sex... i know thats where i had a problem.
i think my meds actually got me a little depressed and I really didn't have any sex drive. now that im off the meds, im really into having sex. i think its BC that makes our bodys change like that~ at least a few of us.
