Just stop: There is no procedure for this. Once you finish your current pack you can just stop. Please start a prenatal vitamin with folate if you are having unprotected sex. This can prevent birth defects of the spinal cord in your child.

? stop ?: The pill works by tricking your body into thinking you are pregnant so you don't release eggs. If you stop, your body just goes back to releasing eggs when it's ready. If you want to get pregnant it could happen within weeks or months.If you don't, you need to find a backup BC plan and use it.
