It is important to know whether you switched whilst in the pill or after a few days. If immediately after, you may miss a period. However, if you have missed any pills, you will need to do a pregnancy test.

Hi..
Yes...time of switching over is important. If it happened in continuation it is possible that you don't get periods. If it is not so then please take a pregnancy test.

It's best that you get a UPT done... If you had switched on time chances are low
