Brief Answer:
take the pills

Detailed Answer:
Hi there,
Welcome to HCM,

Stopping the pills will result in more bleeding.
It's best that you restart the pack and continue them.

Some amount of bleeding will occur for 2-3 days, for which you can take tranexemic acid to decrease the flow.

Do not stop pills in the middle of the pack. This can lead to erratic bleeding.

Hope this helps.
Regards.
