If I understand correctly, you have been taking cyclen continuously for 6 months without any problem and slight bleeding/stomach ache has just appeared? Continuous use of cyclen is safe, so there is nothing to worry about. If persistent bleeding occurs over a period of months AND you have been taking your active tablets for more than 21 consecutive days, you can take a break of 5 to 7 days and then resume taking your tablets continuously. If, however, the bleeding occurs within 21 days of starting the tablets (after a break), it is not safe to stop them. If this problem occurs repeatedly, it would be necessary to evaluate the possibility of changing the type of birth control pills, for example, to a type with a slightly higher estrogen content and/or containing a different progestin. I hope that I have answered your question. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you would like more information
