Switching birth control pills

My doctor just switched my birth control pills without tellign em about it first. I was on Ortho Tricyclin and now I realize my new prescription is Tri-Previfem. I know some women do infact become pregnant if they have sex after they have switched the pill they are on. My question is this, now that I have just switched from Ortho to Tri-Previfem, can I become pregnant, or are they the same exact pill like my doctor said?

Thank you,

Switching birth Ortho Tri-Cyclen control pills



I have the same question! I was told I was being put on Ortho Tri-Clyclen and my prescription is for Tri Previfem. Let me know what you get for answers and I’ll be more than happy to let you know what I hear as wel. Good luck and thanks

Don't know if you're still looking for an answer or not.



My gyno told me that I was going to be on ortho tricyclen and when I got the prescription for triprevifem, I was a little confused and asked the pharmicist.  They told me that it's the generic brand of Ortho.  Unless the doctor specifies on the prescription that you cannot have the generic brand and writes the name specifically, then they are required to give you the generic.
