( Berry, KF; Kaser, DJ; Laufer, MR; Missmer, SA, 2012)
" The ultra-low dose of ethinyl estradiol did not impact scheduled bleeding or intensity of bleeding, but we observed a slight decline in amenorrhea and slight increase in unscheduled bleeding in obese women compared with other BMI categories."5.22Body mass index does not affect the efficacy or bleeding profile during use of an ultra-low-dose combined oral contraceptive.
