That doesn't sound right to me. Since it takes a couple of cycles when beginning to take oral contraceptives for the woman to be fully protected then it makes no sense to stop and start so many times.

It seems like you may be suffering from another infection. It would be best to see your doctor.

If you are using oral contraception, you should be able to take them for as long as you want. It depends on which type you are using. Usually you will atill have a monthly cycle with the pill.

You should go and ask your doctor to explain further what he means.

I hope this helps!
