Changing birth control pills: is there a risk during the transition? (Intimacy) I have bleeding 8 days after starting the new one.

Changing contraceptive pills can sometimes lead to irregular bleeding, especially during the first few months. It is normal to experience bleeding 8 days after starting a new pill. As long as the new pill is taken consistently and not missed, the protection it provides should not be affected by the bleeding. However, if you have any concerns or experience unusual symptoms, it is always best to consult with a healthcare provider for personalized advice.
