Cramps are a normal side effect. There is an adjustment period of 3-6 months when you start the pill, and usually after that if you’re still experiencing side effects you don’t like you can think about switching to a different dosage. But if these cramps are unbearable you can talk to your doctor about switching sooner xx

Yes especially as you’re new to the pill and your body is still adjusting!

No it’s completely safe to do it as many times as you want! Many women do not take their breaks for years. It would actually help you stay protected as if you miss a pill, it’s less likely to make you unprotected since you constantly have taken enough pills beforehand (if you miss a pill, as long as you take 7 pills before and after you remain protected as it acts as a “1 day break week” ) x

Also I’d recommend reading this {I2XesNxQm} for more information on your pill, and also your pamphlet

Your body is still adjusting to being on the the brand. There is a 3-6 month adjustment period. If after the adjustment period you are still not happy with the brand you are on you can ask your doctor to be put on another brand. Know that every time you change your brand your body will need to adjust to the new brand which is another 3-6 month adjustment period. Cramps are a side effect of the pill. What you are experiencing is completely normal. You can skip your break week pills as many times as you want. It’s completely safe to do so. There is no guarantee that you will not experience break through bleeding if you do decide to skip your break week pills.
