A member asked:
Is it okay to stop taking the birth control pill in the middle of the pack? any related side effects?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not a good idea: You will probably start bleeding and will not be protected by the pill. If you are having problems on the pill, there are many options for you to choose from. Consult your healthcare provider.
