A member asked:

If i have normal monthly periods, can i stop taking oral contraceptive pills already since it is sure i am not pregnant?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

???????????????????: If u have normal periods on the pill u may or may not ovulate when u stop the pill please consult with the doc who put u on the pill, if u stop the pill you could ovulate the very first month and get pregnant or u may not ovulate.
