It's complicated: I would discuss this with your primary care physician or OB/GYN that wrote you the contraception. This might be a bit too complicated for your internet doctors. Good luck.

Anytime: You can certainly stop your pill at anytime, however, remember that you will be at risk for pregnancy. Use OTC Monistat (3 Day) and see your doctor about other contraceptive options.
