It may be worth trying a different pill- but, Hardman says, the best advice is actually
just to wait it out.
Historically, that's why there is a break in pill taking- to mimic the natural cycle-
but actually there's no need for it," Hardman says.
As with all forms of contraception, Hardman says, the key thing is for women
to be able to make informed choices about what works best for them.
In an ideal world, Hardman would love to see pharmaceutical companies producing pill packets
designed to suit a 24/4 or 28-day continuous use cycle, as well as the traditional 21/7, to help support women using these alternative methods.
