A member asked:
I'm not going to see my boyfriend for 6 months, is it okay to stop taking birth control during this time? are there any benefits?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See details: If you do not have unprotected sex there is no harm in stopping ocs. The benefit is in not taking unnecessary meds.
