I'm not 100% sure your exact question, but it is safe for you to stop taking the pill at anytime. But you will then be able to get pregnant. If you are sexually active, you need to find another form of protection. Hope this answers your question. Yes. The effects of not being on Birth Control, as stated above, mean that you run the risk of becoming pregnant. There is no harm done to your body by getting off birth control pills. Your body will simply adjust to not having synthetic hormones just as it adjusted to having them when you started.

There is no medical need to take a break from BCP, if you decide to anyway be sure you use a very effective form of back up so the short break doesn't turn in to an oops baby!

If you've been using hormonal birth control then you will experience irregular bleeding and possibly other symptoms as your body adjusts, it takes time for hormones to regulate and your menstrual cycles to return to normal after you stop hormonal birth control. Do bare in mind that when you stop birth control you will no longer be protected during sex, thus you need to either abstain from sex or use another form of birth control. Your body is your own, you make choices about what medications to put into it so it is up to you whether you stop taking birth control.
