Hello,

If the high dose is difficult for you, your doctor may suggest a different hormonal approach or a lower-dose regimen. Consult your treating doctor. Some regimens use 1 or 2 pills per day instead of 3. Stopping suddenly may cause irregular bleeding or delay your period further. Since you had protected sex and your pregnancy test was negative, your chances of being pregnant are low.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
