Hey,
I'm sorry if this is posted in the wrong section but I am struggling to find an answer to my question anywhere!
Basically I am taking microgynon 30 at the moment but have decided to change for various reasons so my doctor has prescribed my femodene, however she told me to still have my 7 day break then start taking it when I would have done my next microgynon pill, but the booklet in the box of femodene and everywhere on the internet seems to say I was meant to start taking it straight after my last pack, which it's too late for me to do now!
I know I should probably trust my doctor but when everywhere else is saying something different it's just made me worry a bit!
Anybody had any experience of changing their pills like this? Did you start straight away or have your 7 day break?
Any help appreciated!

If you're worried, use extra protection for 7 days
I figured using extra protection for 7 days should be all I needed to do...just not helpful when a doctor says one thing and everything else says another! lol
please please help me!
