Brief Answer:
Its ok to not bleed for 3 months, but rather not do it if is possible.
Detailed Answer:
Hello, Thank you for using "Ask a doctor" service.
I guess you take the 21days pill. In this case you should take the 7 day break. And then you will have a bleeding.
If you take the 28days pill, then you do not need to take a break before moving to the next package because the last 7 pills of the package in this case are just vitamins. So you will have your period even if you are continuously taking the pill.
It is ok to not bleed for 3 months. Only I am afraid that by taking hormons continuously and not stoping, you will react with side effects because this way your hormonal total is not balanced. During that recommended break you do not get pregnant. It is a necessary step.
I hope I have answered your question. Let me know if you have other questions or concerns.
Kind regards, Dr. Klarida Papaqako, General and Family physician.

It said on the NHS website as well that you don’t have to bleed for 2/3 packs then bleed for 4 days after you finished the 2nd or 3rd pack.

Brief Answer:
Yes, it is safe to use like that.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thank you for the follow-up question.
Yes, it is safe to take the pill continuously without having a break after 21 pills of the pack. So you finish the 21st pill and you start directly with the other pack the next day.
This is done by some women who do not want to have bleeding. And it is ok. But sometimes happens anyway bleeding or more a slight spotting- so be aware and do not worry.
Also keep in mind that the pill does not protect you from sexually transmitted infections, only from pregnancy. So I would advise using anyway a condom.
Kind regards,
