Switching - Seasonique to Loestrin Posted: 05-24-07 14:02pm
How can i do it? I am on the 2nd pack of
seasonique. Can i just start taking
loestrin? Or do i have to stop taking
seasonique and get my period first? How
long do i have to wait before i am
protected against pregnancy?

Most doctors advise finishing your current
pack and going through your placebo pills
then starting the new pill like you would
start a new pack of the old one. Starting
mid pack can throw your body off more than
necessary.

I agree with opal, however, because
seasonique doesn't really have inactive
pills and because the active ones last so
long, I would just switch, start on the
active loestrin pills and take them like
normal. It wouldn't hurt you at all. I'm
not sure if you would need to use a back
up method for a week... you might, I'm not
sure how different seasonique is
hormonally.
