Is It Okay To Switch Birth Control Multiple Times?

I use to be on sprintec then I switched to depo. I like depo more than sprintec but I no longer have insurance so I can't have depo anymore. I have two month supply of sprintec left I'm 5 days into my period would it be okay for me to start taking sprintec again? Will it mess up my cycle again and would my body be okay if I switched back to depo when I get my insurance back? I'm jus really concerned about it and like I said I have no more insurance to go talk about it with my doctor. Thanks

Yes that should be fine, as long as your doctor approves. Many women switch multiple times to find which one works best for them, or to use a less expensive option.

However, if you start that late in your cycle, you'll need to use backup protection for the first full 7 days of taking it, it takes that long for the oral pills to become effective in your body, if not started the first day of your period.

The FDA lists the typical side effects of hormonal contraceptives as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, breakthrough bleeding and PMS-like symptoms.

Is there anything else I can help with?
