It's been a loooong time since I took the pill and am starting up on my next cycle. The doc said to use back up bc for the first month, but the pill's website says you don't need to. http://www.loestrin24.com/using.php#whenstart

My doctors have always told me to use back-up for two months when taking the pill.

I think this might be similar to the one I'm taking. Mine I believe is called Lowesterol or something like that. I'll have to look when I get home. Just a word of advice - if you miss more than 1 pill a month with the low estro ones you could possibly spot/bleed the rest of the month. One month I missed two pills in the first week of the pack and I bled the entire month. It was such a PITA!
