Made the switch in BCP's
Went to the doctor this afternoon... made the switch from
Portia 21 (generic form of Nordette/Min Ovral) to Aviane 21 (generic form of Alesse) Aviane is a lower dose hormone bcp... so I'm hoping less weight gain and mood swings. Doctor is also sending me for bloodwork just to confirm thyroid and everything is okay.

Re: Made the switch in BCP's
question for you... if you change BCP's, is there a period of time where you have less protection against pregnancy while the new hormones regulate in your system? Just something I was wondering as I am also thinking of switching.

Re: Made the switch in BCP's
That was something I meant to ask the doctor but forgot... opps!
But I did ask the pharmasist when I picked up the new prescription... and she said no, it's not a problem - bcp to another bcp. I looked online and found the same info. As long as you start the new bcp on the same day you would start the other - at the beginning of a new pack.
