I am on Microgynon 30 (have been for about 24 years). I take the pill continually for 6 packets then have one week off and have a bleed and then repeat for another 6 packets and then have a week off for a bleed etc. I have done this for nearly 2 years now.
I learnt today (by coincidence we were talking about osteoporosis at college) that by limiting my levels of estrogen by not having monthly bleeds I could be putting myself at greater risk of osteoporosis. I am a healthy fit exercising 42 year old.
Would you agree?
