Q: Want to Stop Taking Bc Pill For a While

I mainly got Birth control a few months ago for sex protection..well my BF broke up with me a month ago so I don't really need it. I continued to take it, I like knowing when I'm gonna get my period, but I still have trouble swallowing the pills(dont ask) and I just don't need it anymore. It will also save me $10 a month. I might decided to take it again sometime in my life, but not right now. I just want to know if anything will happen when I stop taking it? Thanks.

Your periods might be irregular for a little while (a few months), but you should be fine. Also, if the pills decreased cramping, blood volume, length of period, etc. it will likley go back to the way it was before.

Talk to your doctor if you have concerns or if your periods/cramping, become unmanageable.
