Is Belara The Same As Diane?
Question: Hello,
I have switched from Belara to Diane pills. I took 21 pill of Belara, then made a 7 day break, and then started Diane immediately (like Belara). I now had 7 pills of Diane and had sex without extra protection on pill day 3 and 5. But I am worried perhaps I did not need to make a break between the pills? Was it a right way? Was I protected?
What should I do now? Should I use extra protection or take emergency pills in case I was not protected?
Thank you!

No extra protection is needed

Hi dear and thanks for trusting to HCM.
I have read your question and understand your concern.
No extra protection is needed in your case because
Diane have almost the same hormones as Belara.
Hence take Diane regularly and be calm.
