When stopping birth control, there are several things that may happen to your body. These include:

• Increased fertility: Once you stop taking birth control, your ovulation can return to normal quickly, and you may become pregnant sooner than you expect.

• Irregular menstrual cycles: Stopping any form of hormonal birth control can cause temporary changes in your menstrual cycle. You may experience withdrawal bleeding, breakthrough bleeding, or a lack of regular periods for several months after stopping hormonal birth control.

• Heavier periods and cramping: Your periods could be heavier and cause more cramping than before you started taking birth control.

• PMS symptoms: PMS symptoms may come back after stopping birth control.

• Acne: Some people may experience acne after stopping birth control.

• Weight changes: Stopping birth control can cause weight changes in some people.

• Mood swings: Hormonal changes after stopping birth control can cause mood swings.

• Breast tenderness: Some people may experience breast tenderness after stopping birth control.

• Headaches: If the pill tended to give you headaches, you’re likely to get relief when you stop taking it.

Its important to note that everyones experience is different, and some people may not experience any of these side effects. Most side effects are temporary and will disappear over time without treatment. If you have concerns about stopping birth control, its best to talk to your doctor.
