Can I go off the pill or 4 months, or should I just stay on?!
Question: Can I go off the pill or 4 months, or should I just stay on.?
I'm not seeing my boyfriend until June 2009. I am on birth control pills right now, but I am so tired of them since I have no incentive to take them (I won't be having sex until June). I take them everyday, but it's so easy to forget to take them at the same time.
When I am sexually active, I take my pill every day the same time every day.
Now it is so hard.
Can I go off the pill for 4 months or so, and get a new prescription, or should I just keep the ones I have. My prescription expires in March, then I have to get a new prescription.Health Question & Answer

Answers:
You can go off the pill if you really want to. It depends on how the pill affects you.
I went off it for a month over the summer when my mail-order company got mixed up and I was also away from by boyfriend. The problem for me was my body took a month to adjust when I started the Pill and so when i went off it my body took another month to adjust off and then another to adjust on. The thing is you are messing with your hormones, thats why you are supposed to take it at the same time everyday. For me it affected my weight and periods (i get really bad pain without it)
Its really about your body and preference.
also yo ucan keep the pills yo uhave but watch the expiary dates, then when they run out, get a new scrip.
good luck!Health Question & Answer

I don't see the point (it's only 4 month) your just going to muck your cycle around and when you start up again you'll probably have to take at least one month of the pill to make sure you're pregnancy proof again. Just have a note near your bed to remind you to take the pill, if you can remember when you're sexually active you can do it now.Health Question & Answer
