What would happen if you stopped taking birth control pills mid pack?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Likely early period: It's likely that you will have some bleeding==or an early period. It's not otherwise harmful, but you should expect bleeding. If you still need birth control, you should switch to another method rather than just stopping.
