Hello,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
Usually it is advisable to stop when the pack is complete so as to not to disruptthe normal cycle and it will continue as before.
But if you need to discontinue it you can stop it any time but there might be bleeding which can last bit longer.
But once it stops then your cycle starts from that day.
So your period starts 2 3 days after you stop the pills.
I hope i have answered your query well.
Thank you
