Well if you have been taking them for 3
weeks then that means that you are
currently on the placebo pills week and if
that is the case once the forth week (off
week) is over so will the protection by
the birth control pills, unless you start
a new pack. They wear off really fast
that's why when you miss a pill you can
get pregnant! Hope I helped.

Are you having problems with the pill?If
you are,talk to your doc about the
problems.Some side affects can be worked
out with first time users
by adjusting the pills or switching
brands.You did not say why you wanted to
stop,if it's for another reason or what.If
you do stop using the pill,make sure you
do use another method,unless you are
trying to get pregnant.Good luck.Patty

Do certain kinds of birth control pills
take longer to wear off than others? I'm
taking ortho tricyclene.
