Hi there, I have recently switched from my regular contraceptive pill (Levlen Ed) to Ginet 84. This is my first cycle on the new packet (which I started directly after my last inactive tablet on Levlen). Am I still protected across the non-hormonal tablets on this new packet?
Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor. I am Chat Doctor. I will be answering your concerns. Birth control pills started on any day need 7 days to be effective. So if you have taken the hormone pills of Genet correctly each day, you are definitely protected across the non-hormonal tablets on this new packet. Ginet is more than 99% effective in preventing pregnancy. But there is a very small possibility of method failure. So if you miss your period you need to get the pregnancy test done. I hope this is helpful. If you have any further concerns do contact me through Chat Doctor.
