what will be the side effects if i stop taking in the middle of my cycle and not finishing the whole packet?

Well I wouldn't recommend it.I guess it depends on the type of bc pill you are on. I didn't stop in the middle of my cycle but I decided to quit taking my bc pills after a few packs.(I was on them for medical reasons)when I discontinued them,I didn't have a period for 3 months.it knocked my cycle off for 8 months. That's the only side affect I had. But if u are sexually active,skipping pills or stopping during packs makes you double fertile I heard.a girl I know skipped her pill 2 times and she got preagnant. So it just depends on ur situation,pill,and how stable your menstruel cycle is.

First 2 weeks after you have your period, your more vulnerable to pregnancy, so ensure that you have other methods if your planning to have sex.

Your cycle as Goodgirl93 stated will change as well and you probably will get cramps as your body gets confused as to where it is at.

hi...it's like this...i stopped taking pills after my 14th...the next 2 days after that, we had unprotected sex. 4 days later, i was bleeding...not AS HEAVY as my normal and WAY TOO EARLY too...because i don't expect my period for at least 2 weeks...but it was red, not implantation bleeding which is brown/pink as they say. could this only be because i quit the pills in the middle of the pack and i can still be pregnant? or does this mean i am nowhere near pregnancy? please help!
