    Stopping Pills mid cycle

    Hey, I was supposed to have my cycle around the 20th after my white pills were done.. But I did not want to have my cycle that week because I went on vacation with my bf.. However, since then I have been cramping and having breakthrough bleeding.. I've had that for 11 days now.. And I wondered if I can just stop taking them midcycle.. And just let my cycle come on? I should add that this is my 3rd month taking these pills.. These are regular dose.. I used to take low dose..

    Edit: I also been bloating as well, so would my cycle just come on since I just been overtaking these pills?

      Yeah, you can stop taking the pills anytime. Just let your cycle come back on its own, it may take some time though. Just be sure to use other protection.
