Switching Birth Control, from Lybrel to Ortho Cyclen.?

I was taking Lybrel, a birth control where u do not have a period. I switched to Ortho Cyclen and the pharmacist told me to wait and switch on the first day of my period.. well I don't have a period with Lybrel. I have tried calling him back but he is on vacation. I started the Ortho Cyclen on Sunday, not the first day of my period. Will I be okay?

1. yes, you will be okay. Since you dont have a period, its hard to follow that rule. The reason why they tell you that is to make sure it is fully effective. When you start ortho, you either start on a sunday or on the first day of your period. You have to give it at least two weeks (with orth try lo) for it to be birth control safe.
