Answer
Dear Katie,

Sorry but I don't know the answer to your question. However, I can do some research if you like. You can email me at CHERYL51@aol.com and then we can talk more that way. Please consult your doctor or pill provider. I don't advise any woman to use any kind of hormonal birth control pills because of possible risks to health and side effects. Let me know your thoughts on this.

Sincerely,
Diane Cheryl
