I read on the internet that I should stop taking it for 7 days and then start again? Is this true? How should I handle this?

It is true that stopping the pill for 7 days can help with any persistent bleeding. Some sources also suggest that taking a 4-day break could be effective as well. This break can potentially increase the efficacy of the pill and reduce any side effects associated with menstruation. It's always a good idea to consult with a healthcare provider for individualized advice on how to manage this situation.
