Resolved question:
Hello Dr.
I am interested to figure out how i am able to switch birth control pills, 21days
Do i wait until my period or do i start the new pills the day i stop the old pills
Or what is the method of use_
I am now on my 3rd pack and now i see the changes taking effect for the 1st month i noticed i had gained 1kilo. Now i am on my 3rd pack and see i am getting fat under my neck, like a double chin.
Assuming these are part of the pills and the 1 kilo i gained
Please advise what i must do now
Thank you and look forward to your intelligent response

Hello,
Thanks for your query at DoctorSpring.com.
I gather that you wish to switch pills, change from one brand to another.
Here is how to go about it.
Finish the current pill pack.
Wait for your period ( a withdrawal bleed ) after the pill pack is over.
Start the new type of pill from day 2 of your period, and continue taking it routinely.
Hope that is clear enough.
let me know if you wish for further clarifications.
Good day!
