I have been taking Alesse continuously and have been bleeding for 1 week, what should I do?

If you have been bleeding for a week while taking Alesse continuously, you can consider taking a break of less than 7 days as long as you have taken the contraceptive for at least 21 days in a row. The bleeding usually stops on its own, but if it persists for more than 2 weeks or increases in volume, it is advisable to consult a healthcare professional.
