A member asked:
Are there any health risks to abruptly stopping the daily contraceptive pill?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No "risk": No actual health risks, though you may have abrupt onset of your period shortly after stopping, and some resultant menstrual irregularity until your cycle catches up.
