Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Extended cycle birth control pills, such as Seasonale or Lybrel, are designed to reduce the number of menstrual cycles experienced in a given year. These pills are taken for an extended period of time, usually 84 days instead of the traditional 28 days, and they suppress ovulation and reduce the number of periods a woman has each year to just 4 or fewer. This can be beneficial for women who experience painful, difficult, or inconvenient periods.
