Hello,
Thanks for posting your query on health care magic.
You are probably having wrong concept about the medication.
Infact, microgyn30 has LNG as one of the contents.
LNG helps in reduction of menstrual bleeding on continuous use.
I suggest you to continue taking the pills without missing them out.
Hope this helps.
regards,
Dr Nilofer
