A member asked:
When taking birth control for heavy bleeding, will i always have to take them? or once the bleeding has stopped will i be able to come off them?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Many can take them for a time then come off after their body establishes a new pattern. Some may only come off to try for a pregnancy. Work with your OBGYN on a plan and see.
