When someone switches brands of birth control pills, do they put themselves at risk of pregnancy?

Basically I was taking Seasonique and now just switched to a generic monthly pill. Will I become pregnant because I switched what types of pills I'm taking or does it not matter?When someone switches brands of birth control pills, do they put themselves at risk of pregnancy?
If you stayed on birth control the whole time you should be fine. But when switching, idealy you should wait a month for your body to adjust.When someone switches brands of birth control pills, do they put themselves at risk of pregnancy?
I've heard stories about your situation. I'd say see a doctor.
Anything's possible. Check the packaging first and/or consult your doctor to see how the change can affect you.
It won't matter as long as your break between the two pills was only the 7 day placebo pills. If you didn't take a longer break than 7 days you are still covered.
That is how my sister got pregnant when switching birth controls. So yes there is always a chance of pregnancy.
