Hi, i have been on Microgynon 30 for 14 years now, i have taken three packs back to back for the first time ever due to different circumstances as i didnt want a period.

Hi, thanks for using healthcare magic

Yes, you should still be protected against pregnancy once you are using it consistently.

Breakthrough bleeding can occur with the use of oral contraception. Microgynon contains the same components as seasonale which is an oral contraceptive that is taken for 3 months straight.


I hope this helps
