Yes. Oral contraceptives have lots of hormones in them. You should get off it for a little while, or at least talk to your doctor.

Talk to your doctor about this. In the info with your pills, it should say it slightly raises the risk of breast cancer and I think cervical cancer, too. If you regularly do self-checks and get checked yearly with your doctor, you shouldn't have any major problems. I don't know if going off it for a while will help reduce your risk or not. Talk to your doctor before you decide to stop your birth control.
