BCP or no BCPs?

I am 38 years old not in a relationship and wanting a baby, I feel like the longer I am on Birth control pills the longer it might take me to get off of them and get pregnant when I find the right person, should I stay on them or should I use a different form of protection?

BCP......

Is your period supposed to be lighter or heavier after stopping the pill?

Stopping BCP and Restarting BCP - - Advice

Hey guys,Just on my placebo week at the moment. I'm planning to not take a new pack after my placebo week is over and just go without them for awhile (maybe for two-three months). Ive been taking BCP for 3.5 years now, but I'm taking this break to see if its the cause of my issue with vulvar itching - which my doctor think is because of hormones. I'm taking Aviane-28 which I believe is a low dose estrogen pill?Anyways, decided to just give my body this "break" and see if it helps. I like taking the BCP as it gives me peace of mind using it with condoms to protect myself.I'm just wondering, if at the end of this "test" that I do, if anyone restarted their BCP and what their experiences were, and how would you know when to start the pills again since everywhere I've read, it will be hard to pinpoint exactly when your menstrual cycle is?What was everyone's experience, did you just stop mid way thru your active pills or finished a pack and just didn't start one? And if you did restarted, did you just wait for the next bleed? Or just started anywhere in the cycle?Any opinions, statements, first hand account s would be greatly appreciated! Thanks guys!

Stopping bcp

So I stopped taking birth control pill Lo-Orgestrel at the beginning of this month. Had unprotected sex on the 14th and 15th of this month. Today my nipples have been extremely sore and itchy. Does this happen from stopping birth control or could I be experiencing pregnancy symptoms?

BCP or lupron?

I had a lap in December. I'm still having severe pain. My doctor wants to do lupron for three months but I'm really concerned about the side effects. Her other suggestion was BCP for a few months to see if that will calm things down. My question is, has anyone had success conceiving after taking BCP for a few months? I'm afraid it would just help while I'm on the pill but wouldn't necessarily help our odds of conceiving afterwards.

BCP & Boobs..?

After you went off BCP did your boobs go soft and squishy? I've found since I went off my pills on April 22nd that my boobs have gone soft. I did weigh 140, then I weighed 135, today I weigh 138, and my boobs have gone squishy. Anything happen similar to anyone else?

ovulating on BCP???

I was on BC because of irregular periods. I lost some weight and electively came off BC to see how my body would react. Luckily I've been ovulating and menstrating regularly (I'm convinced it was my weight causing the problem). So after 3 months, I went back on BC this time to avoid pregnancy.. But I think that I ovulated this month when I shouldn't have... Hopefully nothing gets fertilized... Does this happen? I'm starting to worry 

After BCP

How long did it take for you ladies to ovulate after stopping BC?

Premarin and BCP

I have a question. My husband and I are in the beginning stages of the IVF process. My doctor has instructed me to begin taking Premarin and Birth control pills. I wanted to know if this stops your cycle from coming for the following month (I’m not sure if the question makes sense at all)?

Off BCP

Has anyone else who has gotten off of birth control pills experienced nausea. I've been off for four days and have had nausea since.

BCP with clomid

So my doctor gave me BCP to start for 3 weeks and then stop he said I should have my period after the three weeks once i have my period I wait the 5 days after to take my clomid for 5 days ? Has Anyone else tryed this ? I haven’t had my period since August that’s why he gave me this option

BCP and TTC

So last year I went on the BCP, due to having an ovarian cyst that sent me to the hospital as the general practitioner I saw told me I was having an appendicitis?!?!well, thankfully it was just one singular (extremely painful) cyst. However my OBGYN told me to take BCP to be safe and the first pill was awful. I was sick for three months, but I was told to stick it out till the end of the third month before switching. Well I finally switched and this one went over well until after the three month mark. Two months ago my fiancé and I decided to start trying and when I came off the pill I had a normal withdrawal bleed, then waited seven weeks to get my real period. So this was month two of TTC and I have been all sorts of out of wack since going off the pill. I mean all sorts of wonky stuff. I thought I would never go back to normal, but to end on a good note. My period was right on schedule this month ( even though we wanted a BFP) I’m grateful that I can at least be comforted by the fact my regular periods are back. Anyone else TTC after taking BCP???

Bcp question

Has anyone experienced fuller breasts and sensitive nipples after coming off birth control? 

FET & BCP

I am doing my first frozen transfer after a failed fresh. I am on BCP (birth control pills) and just went in for an ultrasound and I have a hormonal Egg growing. So far it has pushed my transfer out a week. Has this happened to anyone? I don’t know how this affects my FET but I hate how it is delayed. Estradiol was also raised to 300+

Question BCP

So back in august I got severe tonsillitis and was on antibiotics for over a month and on and off steroids plus I had surgery to get them out. During this time I started getting my periods in the middle of the pack but still normal flow and symptoms and on time. Now I’m about a month out from surgery and I just started the last week in my pack and I haven’t gotten my period yet. I was thinking it was because my body is going back to normal and I’m not on a bunch of medications that mess with bcp anymore. But I’m just a little nervous. Thoughts?

BCP Effectiveness

How effective is 3mg of birth control at actually being a contraceptive? This is in pill form by the way. Camber Pharmaceuticals is the brand.

Quitting the BCPs!!

After 5 years of being on the pills, I decided not to take it anymore due to the realization of my extreme and sudden hormonal changes. I started the pill when I was 13 for my hormonal acne, it didn’t really help at the start but I kept going because I knew it was a very effective contraceptive that I could benefit from in the future. What I didn’t know were the several counterparts of this benefit, including fatigue, headaches, muscle weakness, mood swings, and so on. I recently realized that these tiny pills were the reason I was like this by trying to find a common connection between all symptoms. I even cried about because of all the hormones spiking out of control and decided to stop. The truth is no amount of intercourse will ever make up for the downsides of being on the pill. Now that was just my experience and though I am quite scared of how this sudden change is gonna affect me, I still think it is necessary. Wish me luck!! 🫶

BCP and discharge

I've been on BCP for 9 years consistently. A few days after my period last month (ended on January 19). Husband and I had drinks and I forgot to take my pill that night. Didn't take it til about noon then shortly after had sex. My problem is that for 2 days now I've had brown discharge which is very irregular for me. Any ideas? I feel like it's too early to test
