Hi,
Heavy menstrual bleeding may not be reduced with pause tablet alone. Hormonal pills may be required to control and normalize your cycles. The cause of heavy bleeding should be identified. Pelvic ultrasound, thyroid function test and complete blood count should be taken to identify any cause of hormonal imbalance.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
