I take aviane continuously for 3 packs to skip period. i always spot in pack 3. is there anyway to decrease spotting so i can get through 3rd pack?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Aviane: I would take the fourth week in this cycle and let yourself have a period then go back to skipping that week and taking it continuously next pack. That should eliminate breakthrough spotting.
