Stopping the contraceptive pill Yaz should be discussed with your doctor. It is worth following a few general rules to safely stop using birth control pills:
1. Finish your current pack: If your doctor tells you to stop taking your pills, it is usually recommended that you finish your current pack, even if you decide not to use contraception altogether. This will allow you to maintain hormonal regularity and avoid possible cycle disorders.
2. Observation of the cycle: After stopping the pills, it is recommended to observe the menstrual cycle. You can keep an ovulation calendar, use ovulation tests, or other methods of monitoring your cycle to track your fertility.
3. After stopping birth control pills, it may take some time for the body to adjust. Some women quickly return to regular cycles, while others may experience irregularities for several months.
4. Avoid discontinuing medication on your own without consulting your doctor.
If you do not have the possibility of an in-person visit, I encourage you to take advantage of the teleconsultation:
