Sex education

If I stop having sex then finish the birth control pack after, will I get pregnant? Or will I have to keep taking packs even if I am not sexually active?

Hi there :smile:

If you're saying that you're going to have sex, finish the rest of the pack and then stop. Then no you won't get pregnant and won't have to keep taking it.

But if you wish to have sex again you will obviously have to take the pill for a week again before you do so it becomes effective. And if you're ever unsure if and when you may become sexually active again you can carry on taking the pill without harm
