Is switching birth control pack types only every 2 months normal?
« on: September 04, 2019, 10:54:05 PM »

I'm entering perimenopause, and my OBGYN nurse practitioner will only allow me to switch birth control pack types every 2 months if the current one isn't working out.  I'd like to switch out more often, like once a month.  Waiting 2 months on something that isn't working is sheer agony.  At this rate, I'll be post-menopausal by the time we find the right fit.

I can understand finishing the pack I started...but waiting through 2 packs?  Is that normal/reasonable in your experience?  Or should I start looking for an OBGYN who will work with me?
