A member asked:
I will be travelling wont behaving sex say 5 months plan on stopping bcp what should i expect when i stop and how soon before i return should i start?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Periods: You will go back to your normal pattern as soon as you stop the pills and fertility will return. You may continue the pill while you are traveling to help regulate the cycles and continue the habit. If you choose to stop them then restart before you begin having sex so you will be protected.
