Last Updated on January 7, 2021

If you would just stop listening to the myths and ask your doctor instead, you’d have saved yourself a big trouble, am I wrong?

In every surrounding you will find those family members and well-meaning strangers who are misters and misses know-it-all. And because you lack a sexual education, you tend to believe the rumors told to you about sex and contraception.

A good example is that taking time off from the hormonal birth control that you have been using for quite a long time is a bad idea and bad for your health. This is not true, as no method is bad or harmful to stay on for a long period of time. In contrary, it may protect you from diseases like anemia, fibroids, certain types of cancer, endometriosis, and even more.

So, whether you’re stopping it to have babies or just because you need some rest, go ahead and take it. Give yourself a break and don’t stress so much about it, says Dr. Katharine O’Connell White who is the director of the Fellowship in Family Planning at Boston University.
