I have a lot of spotting, after how long can I take the 7 day break with Aviane so that I am still well protected?

Question

Hello, I was taking until 3 weeks ago the micronor contraceptive pill because I was breastfeeding. At the end of my breastfeeding, I started to take the aviane. The pharmacist told me 1 week ago to take both. And micronor and aviane. Which I did. Technically, the doctor told me that it was ok to take aviane continuously as I had done before my other pregnancies. She mentioned that the first few months I could take a break if I had spotting so that it would settle down. Right now, I have a lot of spotting, after how long can I stop (take the 7 day break) the avian so that I am still well protected? I have been taking aviane for 18 days now. Also, will I still be protected during the week of "break"? Thank you in advance Super thank you very much it answers my question perfectly!

Hello Mrs, Spotting during the first weeks to months is possible following such a change. This does not necessarily indicate a problem. You can take Aviane continuously and take a break if you wish, but the following 2 conditions must be met You have taken Aviane for at least 21 consecutive days without missing a dose The duration of the break does not exceed 7 days. I hope this is helpful to you and I am available if you have any further questions! Tom Samaha, pharmacist It was my pleasure!
