A member asked:
Is it okay and what to expect when birth control pills aren't being taken anymore (last day being the 13th pill in the pack)?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Stopping pills: You will no longer have protection against pregnancy and you will likely have onset on menses. If it is heavy or lasting too long, more than 5-7 days see your doctor. The best time to stop pills is at the end of the pack. All the best.
