Is Mycrogynon Pill Safer Than Depo Shots?

I am currently using the pill injection as contraceptive, used for 3 months but do not like it. I have 3 months worth of mycrogynon pills which I would like to use again, have used this for 10 years and i have 2 children within his time so it works for me. My depo is due Monday 23rd jan, when should I start taking the mycrogynon again? Thanks

Hi,

Yes, you can start your hormonal contraceptive on the day that you are due for a Depo shot. Because Depo-Provera remains in your body for up to 15 weeks after your last shot, you can start your first birth control pill at any time. For the first seven days of using the pill, I would suggest you to use an additional method of contraception such as condoms since the pills can take 7 days to become fully effective.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
