Is going on & off the pill bad?

Sometimes I go on the pill for a couple months then I have a break. Is this bad for my fertility? Also is NOT being on birth control bad? Does it waste your eggs?

It's not bad going on and off the pill providing you using alternative birth control while you not on it.

Downfall of doing this way is that your body will need upto another three months or so for the pill to settle down again within your body.


It's not bad for fertility....
No it's not wasting your eggs when on birth control as you have plenty of them as your body only release one egg usually every month as part of your periods.
