So I've been on different BCPs for many years now. I recently switched from Loestrin to Tilia (generic of Estrostep). Having some mild cramping after being on the pill about 10 days and called my dr. who said it's ok and just my body adjusting to the new levels of hormones. I also asked if since it's a new type of pill for me if I need to use any "back up" method. He said no.. and that I'm fine. (Which we haven't been doing anyway....)
Has anyone a) had cramping when trying a new pill b) had their dr. tell them to use back up when starting a new pill?
Thanks!!
