What Causes Delay In Periods After Swapping From Cerazette To Microgynon?

I have swapped from Cerazette to Microgynon 30 and am on my first pill free week. However I have not started bleeding. When I started taking Microgynon I just finished my packet of Cerazette and started my pack of Microgynon straight away. Is there a chance I am pregnant or is this normal?

General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hi,

While switching from one contraceptive pill to other, it is generally suggested to use another backup method of contraception for the first seven days of switching the drug. In case, there is a history of sexual intercourse during these seven days, I would suggest you to take a pregnancy test.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Saranya Ramadoss, General & Family Physician
