Can I take Marvelon continuously, without a break?

I am taking the Marvelon birth control pill continuously for 6 weeks and then taking a week off. Can I increase the duration of continuous use (9 or 12 weeks)? Are there any possible side effects?

Hello, thank you for your question! You can take a continuous period without stopping your contraceptive. The bleeding you have when you stop taking it is not necessary for you or your health

I hope this helps, and I am available if you have any other questions!
