A member asked:

What are the side effects from coming off the contraceptive pill?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Jeff Livingston answered

Specializes in Obstetrics and Gynecology

Pregnancy: Obviously one can get pregnant if not taking the pill. Your periods will go back to your baseline state ----either good or bad depending on what they were like. There are really no side effects of not taking them as they are out of your system in about 7 days.
