Hi,
In case you are not married¬ involved in a sexual relationship. I feel you can omit the pills & don't expect periods. Rather than having withdrawal bleeding life long.
There are few side effects of the drug like digestive problems, bloating/breast tenderness/swelling on feet, weight gain/ irregular vaginal bleedings of the pill.
so in my opinion ..you can give atrial of omitting the pill under the guidance of your treating doctor/keep reviewing the basic problem & avoid unnecessary intake of hormones.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Vasudha Jayant Athavale, General & Family Physician
