Question
Hi there, am Doreen and i have been taking the 28 days pack and now am changing to the 21 days pack, should i wait for my next period to start or i can start the 21 pack as soon as i finish the iron/sugar pills, just as regularly as i have been taking the 28 one?

Answer
Hi Doreen,

Thanks for your question. I don't recommend any kind of hormonal birth control which includes the pill. I don't feel that it is healthy for a woman's body and has side effects (long-term and short-term). Why are you changing, by the way. Please email me at DCHERYL51@yahoo.com so we can talk more. Thank you.
