    Birth Control Pills
    I have been on BCP for 3months now(yasmin precisely). I know my question might sound weird but I will appreciate an answer al the same.
    I will like to know what will happen if I stopped the pill for a whole month and then continue taking it again.. ie to say giving my body a 1 month gap 4rm the pills.
    Apart from the fact that any intercourse within that month could get me pregnant(I already know that), are there any other health risks if I did that?
    Get off the pill one month and then got right back on it again.
    Thank you!

    There should be no problem with that, other than most likely going through the side effects again.

    Remember not to have sex until at least taking the pill for seven days.

    Hey X Dani,thanks!
    Did you say - 'side effects "again"! Sorry I didn't get you. Since I started on the pill I have never had any known side effects, well apart 4rm d part wit my boobs that grew a little bigger. Are you saying now that I'm taking a month's break I will experience some unpleasant side-effects? Like which ones for instance, just so I'm prepared.

    Thank you a lot!

    Lucky lady! I got pretty bad side effects when I started on the pill. Some women get headaches, some women even vomit. Don't think you've anything to worry about.

    You're welcome lovely.
