Switching Pills...not sure what to do! - Birth Control Message Board

I just got off Loestrin 24fe. I'm a Monday starter so technically I should be starting a new pack tomorrow. BUT my doctor just switched me over to Yaz. Loestrin causes my period to be all out of wack so I have not gotten my period (even though I have been on inactive pills since Thursday). Should I still start my new pack tomorrow as I usually would or should I wait until I get a period?

Also, I am not pregnant...its very normal for me not to get a period when finishing the packs of Loestrin (as I'm sure it is for a lot of other women taking Loestrin)..I usually end up getting my period in the middle of active pills.

You need to start it whenever you would have started your next pack of Loestrin. It doesn't matter if you had your period or not. Everyone knows that Loestrin causes majority of women not to get a period, so it really makes no difference whether you had or not yet.
