A member asked:
I've been taking trinessa (norgestimate and ethinyl estradiol) for a year now. is it safe to continue to take them for a long period of time since it stops ovulation? is it healthy?

It is safe to take: It is safe to take your oral contraceptive for as long as you don't wish to be pregnant. If you decide to become pregnant, then that is still available to you when the pill is discontinued. There is nothing more unhealthy emotionally or physically than a undesired pregnancy.
