I am on Yaz birth control how late can you start another pack?

You should start the next pack no later than seven days after your last active pill in the previous pack.

This varies in every women. It's best if you stick to the same time everyday but take the pill no later than 4 hours.

Hi, You can yes but it shouldn't be no more than 6 hours later. A hour or two later would be more desireable.


If I want to change the time I take my pill to a more convieniant time how exactly would i do that Ex is that possible when would i start the new time am i unprotected then if so how long Etc?

Hi, Yes it's possible to change your pill time to a more convenient time. To do this you MUST take one pill everyday and DO NOT miss a pill. You will need to gradually change the pill time. For example if you want to take the pill 4 hours later than usual then take it one hour later for a few days, then one hour later again for 2 days and so on until you've reached your time scale. But I would advise you to use a backup method of protection, a condom for one month to be on the safe side.


If you get your period this month and it lasted more than it usually last but the a week later you get it again but I am not bleeding that much what can this mean i don't take the pill?

Your period is irregular. So what.


What to do if you took your pill earlier than usual?

If you took your pill earlier, there is no additional risk of pregnancy. If you're on the combination pill you can take your next pill at the usual time or the new early time. If you're on the progestin only pill, take your next pill within three hours of the time you took today's pill.


Can you get pregnancy symptoms while on the mini pill?

Yes you can get symptoms, Menstual and pregnancy symptoms are very similar so can be confused alot, such as cramps, headaches, sore breasts, feeling poorly. If you suspect you are pregnant than take a test but this is very unlikely if you have been taking your pill correctly (same time every day, not 3 hours later than the time you usually take it). The mini-pill will not affect a pregnancy test result.

Can you switch from Yaz to microgynon?

Yes, you can switch. Just start the new pack of the new pill no later than you were scheduled to start the next pack of the old pill.


How can you switch from taking your birth control pill from night to the morning?

Tomorrow, take your pill in the morning. At that point, less than 24 hours will have gone by between that pill and the previous one. The next day, take your pill in the morning -- again, you're not late. No back up birth control method is needed while you make this change. Alternately, you can just change the time with your next pack.


You lost an active pill down the drain Do you just take the next days pill?

Replace the missing pill with the last active pill in your pack. Take the other pills in the pack as scheduled. You'll finish the active pills a day earlier than originally expected. You should also start the next pack a day earlier than expected so that the pill-free break is no longer than seven days.


If I Missed my birth control pill one day took that missed pill the next morning but forgot to take again that night can you get pregnant?

No. It is only a problem if you forget to take your pill more than twice. Though if you have a problem remembering to take your pill you should think about taking another type of birth control.
