Hello,

Welcome to ehealthforum

Birth control pills provide protection against pregnancy only if they are taken regularly at the same time daily and missing the pills would increase the chance of pregnancy.Along with that irregular bleeding and spotting can also be expected.
I would not advice to stop the pill intake and if you stop them then consider using protection for prevention from pregnancy.

Take care!
