What are possible side effects of stopping birth control?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Biggest risk: preg: Fertility returns quickly after you stop birth control, so if you don't want to be pregnant, don't have a gap between birth control methods. For some methods, such as the shot, periods may be slightly delayed after stopping.
