I wanted to take a break from my pill as I am no sexually active and said it would be the perfect time to stop and give my body a break, I finished my last packet but I am now not feeling great mentally and thinking about going back on the pill, it’s only been 2 weeks what’s the next way to start taking my new pack? 💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊🍭🍭🍭🍭❌❌❌❌❌❌❌❌❌❌❌❌❌❌⏱ Brand: Qlaira

Best way*

It takes up to 12 months to adjust being off birth control. You could just start again but make a decision whether you will stay on or off first. Stopping and starting in a short amount of time does increase your chances at blood clots so have a think whether you will stay on for a prolonged period first.

Oh that is scary, I will just stay on it from now on!

@yi_eune while its possible it can take 12 months, it’s usually only takes around 3 months to adjust

@pinkcow2008 ^that said it’s still not recommended to have a break from BC

I know it takes time to adjust but I am also thinking about how good my periods are on the pill and want to go back on it for that reason also, can I just start taking it again from today or should I wait till I get a period?

Yeah I was planning on staying off it but things change hopefully I’ll adjust quickly when I start taking it again

You can start now. You just won’t be protected immediately and you might experience side effects because your body is getting confused
