Extended cycle: A literature review shows that women's satisfaction with their contraception, compliance in taking the pills on time, and discontinuation rates are not significantly different between traditional and extended cycle regimens.The extended cycle group fares better in terms of headaches, genital irritation, tiredness, bloating, and menstrual pain.
