Answer
Samantha,

I would say to consult with your doctor on this. I'm not an expert on every kind of birth control pill so I don't know exactly how this brand works. Generally, I don't recommend birth control pills at all because of the possible hormonal side effects and risks. Is it possible that you could consider a different type of birth control method if even needed? The reason I say it that way is that some women take the pill strictly for other reasons than actual birth control reasons. Please email me at CHERYL51@aol.com and we can talk more.

Sincerely,
Diane Cheryl
