I would like to go off birth control.

2017-07-21 09:29:18
I'm a mom to a two year old, and I have been on pills for the last 5 years (barring the time I was trying to get pregnant, my pregnancy and while I was breastfeeding). I am planning to go off pills now. What should I keep in mind? Also are there any side effects?

U would need to adopt some other contraceptive method like an IUCD, implant or any other simpler ways incase you are not planning for pregnancy. There are more side effects having these OCPs for such a long time, rather than now when u are planning to leave them, except that you can become pregnant.
