Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for posting your query.

Prolonged use of hormones at this age needs proper supervision. I would ask you get evaluated properly before planning further management.

The fact that you had withdrawal bleeding while on medication suggests incomplete dosage and to take higher doses, certain criteria like basal hormone levels, blood profiles should be met with.

If after examination, you are deemed suitable, you may use low dose pills without break. This helps to skip periods for longer periods with lesser side effects.

Hope your query has been clarified. Please feel free to contact for further information. I will be happy to help.

regards,
Shanti.V.
