A condom would be a non-hormonal barrier birth control method.
When you switch brands of birth control to a generic, you are still getting the same hormones and the same dosage of hormones, the only difference is that the pills were made by different companies. If you have been on birth control for at least 2 months, it is still safe to have unprotected intercourse even though you are switching birth control. If you haven't been on birth control for at least 2 months you should use a back-up method, such as condoms, during the first week of starting your new birth control. If you want to be even safer, you could wait 2 weeks to have unprotected sex.

What happens if you start taking birth control before your menstruation begins?
Nothing. You are just not guaranteed to not be pregnant when you start taking them. It's always best to follow the directions on these things...
To be totally sure you aren't pregnant when you restart taking hormones that could interfere with a pregnancy test I suggest you use condoms and start taking the pills again on the first day of your next period.
If you regularly forget to take your pills - and who doesn't?- then you might be better off with a different form of contraception. See your doctor. If you are happy taking hormones orally then implants or the contraceptive injection deliver the same stuff over time without the need for daily reminders.
Personally, I really recommend the IUD. It is put inside your uterus, but the modern ones also release hormones to stop you ovulating. So you don't have to think about it at all. The major plus is that most women don't have periods when they've got one so there's no messy sex at that time of the month and you saved a fortune on sanitary ware!

No. Answerif you are pregnant already why do you need birth control pills???
but then again I'm a guy what do i know!
No. More than likely the only thing that It would possibly do would be make you sick or maybe even harm the developing baby, but not miscarriage. If you have continued taking the pill unknowing that you were pregnant make sure to let ur doc know at ur next appt. If the pregnancy was unplanned and you were hoping to terminate the pregnancy you definatley need to stop taking or not begin to take the pill but seek help and advice from your local unplanned pregnancy clinic.
No.
Yes. Simply because Birth Control is used to prevent a pregnancy; however, it does not always work (like when you are taking other medications, commonly cold medications). Sometimes the person will become pregnant and not know it and then while continuing on the medication- miscarry. As far as I know there is no medical evidence to support this, however, if you believe you may be pregnant go see your doctor and stop taking the pills. Better safe than sorry I say.
What happens to sperm when you are on birth control?
Sperm is not affected by hormonal birth control; it does the same thing it does if you're not on birth control, except that there's some decrease in how much sperm can get into the uterus (due to thickening of the cervical mucus). Hormonal birth control affects the egg.
