A member asked:

I don't want to keep taking contraceptive pills...will my hormone level imbalanced again after i stop taking it? what should i do?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Probably: If you were using the contraceptive pills to regulate your periods because they were previously absent or irregular, then once the pill is stopped then that pattern will resume unless the source of the irregularity is identified and resolved.
