Ah, I actually also have experience with the first bullet point. From what I remember, these “long cycle” periods were less problematic than my periods are off the pill. But, the particular pill I was on had negative side effects so I eventually stopped.
Increasing cycle length would definitely improve my situation (assuming I can find a pill with no negative side effects). I think it’s good to consider but not exclusively focus on that option because:
The selection of pills that are compatible with long cycles seems to be relatively small (at least my doctor says so)
On a 1 month cycle one might be able to manufacture more “highs” than on a 3 month cycle
