Hi

I am on the pill and I think I want to stop due to weight gain. I have 9 days of pills left then the placebo. what would happen if I stopped now?

Or do I have to wait? Please let me know, if you know. thanks.

Hi suncatz, welcome!

You can stop mid pack. However, that will bring on your period which could last up to and through when AF is regularly scheduled. If you are ok otherwise you might want to wait until the end of the active pills in your pack.

Good luck,

Thanks Jill

I have to figure out what to do. I am anxious, due to the weight issue (previous post)
