Me and my long term boyfriend broke up, I’ve been on the pill for a bit over year and now he’s gone there’s really no reason for me to take it. I’m on my last week, can I start my break even one day earlier? Also I wanted to know if stopping the pill would help me get over him, if it means that I would be less emotional?😔 LEVLED ED

Maybe outweigh the pros and cons of birth control. I usually recommend staying on as birth control has a lot more benefits than just protection, plus you never know when you might become sexually active again. Adjusting off the pill can also take up to 12 months wherein you can experience all type of symptoms. How fast you will get over him has nothing to do with the pill.

Tbh I think it's more possible to have the opposite effect, stopping the pill means you will have to adjust to being off it and the change in hormones can result in side effects, possibly including mood swings/emotional changes. So personally I wouldn't want to add that on top of going through a breakup, but if you don't like being on the pill, it's of course up to you. When you stop, make sure you have condoms around as contraception because you never know when you may become sexually active again.
