    Switching from Yasmin to Loestrin

    My GP recently switched me from Yasmin to Loestrin 20. I haven't started taking the Loestrin yet as i know it's a lower dosage and i don't want to run the risk of spotting and ruining my plans for my fiance's birthday on friday. But i'm really keen to get off the Yasmin as they're giving me really bad side-effects, but will my fertility be affected after the switch? With a lower dosage do i run the risk of pregnancy for the first week?
    And how do i go from switching from the Y to the L? Do i have the usual week break, then have an extra week being at risk, or do i just go straight from one pill to the other and be at risk for a week anyway?

    Any help would be much appreciated! Thankies!

    If you GP switched you from one to the other, didn't he/she tell you what to do and how to do it?

      Cos she's a useless old hag. She has a beef with me cos i had a go at her when she put me on those Yasmins, i found out afterwards they are really dangerous with horrific side-effects.
