What is the Best way to stop using the birth control patch?

Answer 1

In terms of safety concerns, or effectiveness?

As far as safety, as in least dangerous side effects, COCPsA are the safest. The Combined Oral Contraceptive Pill (COCP), often referred to as "the Pill", is a combination of an estrogen (oestrogen) and a progestin (progestogen), taken by mouth to inhibit normal fertility.

The most effective form is Implanon, but that's not a pill. Your best bet is to stick with the COCP and take exactly as directed.

As with any medication, negative side effects can occur. The pill can cause weight gain and slightly increase chances of blood clots, heart attack, and stroke. Especially if you're over 35 and/or you smoke.

<<<<That's only partly true..The SAFEST form are Birth Control methods that only contain one of the hormones..The mini-pill, depo shot and Implanon do not contain estrogen and only progesterone and thus safer than combination methods. Estrogen and Progesterone together ups your risk of developing a blood clot. IUD's are very safe as the hormones are only delivered locally in the uterus and not throughout the body like the pills and other forms.

Answer 2

Are you talking about pills, and do you want to get pregnant? I stopped at the end of a pack (if you have sugar pills throw them away)then used condoms for two months to check my periods then I got pregnant the next month. It is not always this easy, getting pregnant usually takes longer but it worked for me.

Answer 3

Yaz, Yasmin and Ocella are combination birth control pills that contain a chemical progestin called drospirenone. Drospirenone has been associated with a number of very dangerous and potentially fatal side effects.

That would probably be the condom. It's the only one protecting from diseases and leave no side effects. But for woman there is many to choose from and not all pills and methods fit everyone. That is something you have to test with your doctor based on your need and situation.

Answer 4

The safest method for using birth control pills is to carefully take one pill each day, using an alarm or a text reminder feature like the one found at the Bedsider website to remind you. It's also important to have access to a backup method in case you forget pills. Using condoms along with the pill can provide additional pregnancy protection, as well as prevention of infection.

Answer 5

You can stop whenever you like by removing the patch. In some ways, it's easiest to stop after you remove the third weekly patch in the cycle.
