Hey so I’ve just swapped over my pill from microgynon to desogestrel (POP) and just looking for a bit of reassurance. I haven’t had sex since I’ve changed my pill and I didn’t have any gap in between my pills (I started my new one the day after my last old pill) I’ve been taking desogestrel since last Wednesday. I’m I all good to start having sex and being fully protected. I’ve taken it at the same time every day aside from one day this week where I took it 3 hours early because I was at a concert. Just want to make sure I’ve given my body enough time to adjust and be fully protected again before I have sex.

i made the exact same switch, desogestrel takes 2 full days which is three pills taken on time until you’re protected. you have a 12 hour time frame so taking it three hours early is within this. as soon as you miss one pill (taking it out of the 12 hour timeframe) you become unprotected immediately but any sex BEFORE the missed pill is still protected, any sex after is not.

@onthepillxo thank you this was so helpful 🫶🏼
