Stopping Birth Control: Effects and Returning to the Pill

Question
I am a healthy 21 year old and i have been using the pill for about 3 years.  I find I am down quite a bit and as I am not sexually active I m considering going off of the pill completely to see if this changes.  If I decide to do this are there any problems for me to go back on the pill in say 4 or 6 months if my sexual situation changes.

Answer
Hi Stephanie,
I agree with your assessment of your situation. It sounds like right now you don't need to be on the pill for any reason. The pill has quite a few side effects and not very healthy for your body. There is no need to be putting hormones in your body at the present time. Remember, I'm not a medical professional so always consult your doctor when you have questions.

Good luck!
