I have been on the birth control pill BeYaz for 8 years and want to stop due to side effects and my partner's plan for a vasectomy. I'm concerned about potential withdrawal symptoms such as insomnia, anxiety, nausea, depression, mood swings, and jitters. How common are these side effects after stopping the pill, and what can I do to minimize them?

I am experiencing a constant urge to urinate, with my bladder feeling very 'tickled' and uncomfortable, and I had a very little bit of blood when I wiped, twice. I am also 6 weeks pregnant. When did this frequent urination start? How has your pregnancy been so far? About how many times have you had to relieve yourself in the last 24 hours? What are all the medications you're currently using, either for this frequent urination or anything else? Anything else in your medical history you think the Doctor should know?
