How many of you stop taking birth control when your period starts, because if you don't, you'll experience spotting for weeks?

I’m currently on birth control, and when I start my period, I usually stop taking it to let my period run its course. I have tried taking birth control while on my period, but it often causes me to spot for a while. As a result, I end up stopping the birth control to have a full period and then restart it afterward. Just curious if anyone stops birth control once period starts?
