Birth Control/Microlut

Question
Hi I've recently changed from LevlenED to Microlut (know as minipill) and im just wondering, are you still able to skip a period with this birth control? Because it's a lot different from what I was originally taken and was told it's a very low dosage.
If you could email me back that would be great.
Thanks a lot,
Tiletha.

Answer
I don't recommend hormonal birth control methods, which any kind of pill is. I believe there are too many long-term and short-term risks to your health. I also don't think skipping a period is a great idea.

If you want to email me at DCHERYL51@yahoo.com we can talk more about birth control options. So hope to hear from you soon.
