Right now im on birth control but im not having sex. I was thinking, I know i wont be having sex for a while so i want to stop taking the pill. I still have like refills and if i decide to take it again in couple of months will it still be effective once i start to take it back regulary like i used to? PLEASE HELP ME.

Provided they aren't expired they will be as effective, however, you will be starting over and you won't be protected until you've taken them long enough to start working. DO you remeber how long you had to take them initially before you could have sex without worrying?
