Hello,

I have a very simple question.

I am on the Pill (Yaz) and have been for the last 4 months. I will only be seeing my boyfriend in 4 months (december) and was wondering if I could like , pause on the pill and then start re taking it again. I tried looking it up but couldnt find a decent answer and I am currently without a doctor.

Thank you for all the answers !

Honeypie agony auntI would not suggest it at all. The pill makes a cycle if you start messing with that you might end up with quite a mess.

If you really want to know then I really suggest you call your doctor. ( or A doctor) Maybe you can ask on WebMD.

If you are trying to "save" money this way it really is a BAD idea.

k_c100 agony auntTwistedbaby420 is spot on! I once went to my doctor when I was single (that only lasted a few months) and I asked whether I should come off the pill for the time being and go back on it when I started seeing someone again.

She said that was a really bad idea and completely messes up your hormones and your cycle - the body gets very used to the pill and it makes your menstrual cycle much more regular. So to go off it would do more damage than good - it is best to keep your bodies rhythm regular and stay on the pill!

If in doubt sign up with a GP (that takes only 5 minutes!) and then make an appointment to see them - they will be able to give you a full medical explanation of why you should stay on the pill (I have forgotten exactly what my doctor said to me!).

I hope this helps!

You can stop for a little bit but to be safe I would use it the month before he came. I think it takes like two weeks to work but I could be wrong on that number so start a month before.

Twistedbaby420 agony auntI guarantee your doctor would advise against it. You'll throw your hormones off, probably experience spotting, and you'd have to "rebuild" your pregnancy protection all over again. I would definitely keep taking it, especially since you'll be seeing him within a few months.
