Stopping Birth Control Pills Posted: 07-28-03 10:25am
If you are wanting to go off of the pill,
do you have to finish your pill pack, or
can you just stop in the middle of the
pack?? Anyone know??
Thanks!

Hello, you can stop taking the pill at any
point, just remember it takes 30 days for
your body to adjust back to taking the
pill upon your return to it.
Good luck

Hey Im not to sure if you can just stop
taking the pill. You may have to wait
untill you are finished with the pack so
that it doesnt mess up youre cycle.

with the pill you can stop taking it
whenever you want...but it will mess up
your cycle, as the previous post
mentioned. i would suggest just to finish
the pack (unless you are experiencing some
serious side effects...in that case, stop
and see ur doctor!) just be aware, you
can get pregnant pretty quick after
stopping the pill if there is no other
birth control used...

I think you can just stop. My doc says it
takes 3-4 months for your body to get
readjusted. Everyone is different. I
would just finish the pack and then go
off.

I was on the pill for over 7 years. I
decided to go off it about 3 years ago,
and I have not gotten pregnant since. I
am now trying to get pregnant, and I can
not. But it is different for each
person. Do not go off unless you are
sure you are ready to get pregnant just in
case.
