A member asked:

What are the symptoms you get from stopping birth control?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

None: There should be no symptoms from stopping the pill. That being said, if you were taking it to regulate your period, decrease cramping, or help your skin, those issues will return to the way they were before you took the pill. Also your period will be a bit heavier without the pill.
