Can I simply stop taking my contraceptive continuously when I want to try to conceive?

Yes, you can simply stop taking your contraceptive whenever you want to try to conceive. It is not necessary to have withdrawal bleeding during the 7 days of stopping the pill, as these are not true menstrual periods. If it is easier for you, you can continue taking the pill continuously and then stop completely when you are ready to conceive. It is recommended to take folic acid at least 3 months before trying to conceive, and to talk to your pharmacist if you are taking any other medications or over-the-counter products.
