How Does Stopping Birth Control Pills Affect The Menstrual Cycle?
I recently started to take a new birth control medication (progestin and estrogen) but after only five pills have noticed some very negative side effects including nausea and symptoms of depression (which I have suffered from in the past but not have had problems with in several years). Would it be wise to stop taking the pills, or will this side effects most likely subside within the next few days? If I do cease taking the pill, how would it impact when my period is for this month?

Hi,
Slight irregularities can happen with birth control pills. Generally, it will settle by itself even without treatment.
You can take analgesics like Mefenamic Acid for pain relief.
