Best Answer

You should not stop taking your pills unless directed so by your physician. Since Birth Control will not protect you from pregnancy during the first week, you have a high chance of becoming pregnant if you have had unprotected intercourse during that week or after that week. You may also experience spotting or breakthrough bleeding. This is a side effect that may occur when you begin or end birth control.

If you stop the pill after a week you may bleed. If you don't start another method, you could get pregnant.
