If you stop taking birth control for good what side effects ?can you get and will ur period be regular?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Just you : Birth control pills are completely out of your system within seven days and your body will have no memory of taking them. Once you're off the pill that you were just back to your normal. If you had regular cycles before you will go back to whatever you were like at that time. There are no residual or lingering effects of the pill after you stop taking them.
