Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Extended cycle birth control pills are designed to reduce the number of menstrual cycles experienced in a given year. Seasonale and Lybrel are both designed to be taken for 91 days instead of the typical 21 days, resulting in only 4 menstrual cycles per year instead of 12. They do not affect testosterone levels, egg production, or the number of pills taken each month.
