XCAPGECX is on a distinguished road
Jonathan: That's what I thought but when I first started BC I almost drove my boyfriend away and this pill is great except for the sex drive thing lol. So I'm nervous about switching again.

Brandye: Realized I read the nortrel (found out its also called Ortho-Novum 7/7/7 and generic is Necon) pack wrong lol, this is actually what it was
Triphasic
Week 1: Ethinyl Estradiol 35 mcg, Norethindrone .5 mg
Week 2: Ethinyl Estradiol 30 mcg, Norethindrone .75 mg
Week 3: Ethinyl Estradiol 35 mcg, Norethindrone 1.00 mg
No idea if that's medium or low, I read on various websites it was medium but I'm not a doctor so I have no clue. I'm also glad to hear that desogen and apri are the same, when I called PP to get them to call in she told me there was a slight difference so I was a little worried about it.

Sera: I'll be sure to mention it on Monday when I call, I bought some condoms a couple months ago just in case so we should be fine. I already went and picked up my BC so I'll probably be taking them tonight, guess it would have made more sense to just call in Monday and try to set the pap up for next weekend since me and my boyfriend will probably only have intercourse once or twice. Also, I read about the acne when I first got them but it never helped mine lol. I had no good side effects from this pill or bad except the decreased sex drive.

Thanks for the replies everyone. I feel better about taking apri for this month and also about switching pills, hope the next one will work out.
