I just switched my birthcontrol brand from
levlen 28 to mircette 28 and the nurse
told my husband and I to use a back up
method for the first two weeks of the new
pack (mircette 2. Well we had sex
without back up during the first week.
Could I be pregnant, and should I stop my
birth control? If pregnant does the
pill cause damage to the fetus? Thanks,

Chances are,you are not pregnant.It is
recommended to use backup when switching
pills,but if you have been on bcp's a
while and are faithful in taking them,you
are probably not preg.If you are late in
getting your period,then take a preg.
Test.It does seem like overkill to use a
backup when you are on the pill,but,if you
want to be absolutely certain,use one.That
is the whole point of
contraception,afterall,right!!!????Good
luck to you.Patty
