Continuous Combination Oral Contraceptive Pills to Eliminate Withdrawal Bleeding: A Randomized Trial
Extended Regimens of the Contraceptive Vaginal Ring: A Randomized Trial
TLDR
The combination vaginal contraceptive ring can be used for extended cycles to alter the bleeding schedule and women willing to tolerate some spotting might choose the longer extensions to have fewer menstrual periods.
Effects of continuous versus cyclical oral contraception: a randomized controlled trial.
TLDR
Continuous oral contraception does not result in a reduction of bleeding days over a 168-d period of observation but provides greater suppression of the ovary and endometrium, associated with improved patient symptomatology.
The combined oral contraceptive pill and the assumed 28-day cycle
TLDR
When performing studies involving the menstrual cycle, it should not be assumed that COCP users have a rigid confirmed 28-day cycle and careful consideration should be given to data collection and analysis.
Continuous or extended cycle vs. cyclic use of combined hormonal contraceptives for contraception.
TLDR
The hypothesis was that continuous or extended-cycle CHCs have equivalent efficacy and safety but improved bleeding profiles, amenorrhea rates, adherence, continuation, participant satisfaction, and menstrual symptoms compared with standard cyclic CHCs.
Manipulation of the pill-free interval in oral contraceptive pill users: the effect on follicular suppression.
A prospective follow-up of two 21/7 cycles followed by two extended regimen 84/7 cycles with contraceptive pills containing ethinyl estradiol and drospirenone.
TLDR
The extended 84/7 regimen was found to be satisfactory for the majority of participants and was associated with a decrease in the number of bleeding days and an improvement in menstrual symptoms compared to 21/7 cycles.
Bleeding patterns and patient acceptability of standard or continuous dosing regimens of a low-dose oral contraceptive: a randomized trial.
Bleeding patterns and patient acceptability of standard or continuous dosing regimens of a low dose oral contraceptive: a randomized trial

TLDR
It is suggested that physicians need to inform every woman using the trimonthly regimen for the combined oral contraceptive Nordette 21 about the likelihood of breakthrough bleeding and fewer periods result in decreased menstrual bleeding which should reduce the incidence of anemia.
