Hi doctor,I have been taking contraceptive pills (Yasmin) without seven days break for over three years now. I have not had my period in more than six months. I did not know about the break. What would be the side effect of doing so? And, should I stop taking it immediately even though I have not finished the 21 days or should I wait to finish this pack first and then have the seven days break?
Hi. Three years is a bit longer but up to one year without break is often given to treat certain disease like endometriosis. In your case, it may not cause any problems. Only that you may get late periods. You should complete the 21 days and then stop. You may get with ChatDoctor.  You can do an ultrasound of pelvis, blood tests, sugar postprandial, liver function tests and lipids. You may check breasts. Usually, the pill is safe. For more information consult an obstetrician and gynaecologist online  Take care.
