BurdenNot at all hard to take
Dosage:
extended cycle 30 mcg-0.15 mg
Daily
Advice & Tips:
My insurance refused to pay for a 10-week cycle using three 28-day pill packs (9 weeks of hormones, 1 week off), so I was switched to this 12-week cycle pack (11 weeks of hormones, 1 week off). Using these pills contributed to deep-vein thrombosis and a resulting pulmonary embolism.
