You do not have to, but you will likely get your period right away - even if it has not been a month since your last period. If you wait until the end of the pack, your schedule will stay approximately the same. If you are experiencing side effects which you feel may be dangerous (severe headache, stomachache, or eye problems, major pin point leg pain or trouble breathing), stop right away. If you are considering stopping because you are unhappy with this brand and want to switch or want to become pregnant, consider talking to your doctor about your plans before you stop. It may be easier to transition to a new pill if you stay on this one for the rest of the pack, and if you are considering becoming pregnant, your doctor may recommend that you "prepare" for a month or two before you try for a baby (such as take folate, make sure you are eating healthier/exercising, getting off any other medications that may not be good for a pregnancy). I hope this was helpful!
