"What will happen if I stop taking my prescribed contraceptive pill for heavy bleeding and cramps?"

If you stop taking your prescribed contraceptive pill for heavy bleeding and cramps, there may be a delay before your normal menstrual cycle resumes. Your body may need time to adjust, so your cycle and periods may be irregular for a few months. However, the pill does not permanently alter your natural cycle when stopped. Unfortunately, it is likely that the symptoms you had previously may return when your menstrual cycle becomes regular again.
