A member asked:
When should someone stop taking birth control?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Health risks: A woman taking birth control pills should stop taking those only if health risks have evolved that outweigh the risk of pregnancy. It takes at least a week, before a pregnancy test becomes positive. A typical scenario is that a woman has been partying, has had unprotected sex, then misses her period, finds out that she is pregnant, and then concerns arise, if the baby could have been harmed.
