TTC but...

Hey ladies, so my husband and I have decided to start trying for a baby (casually, no intense tracking or anything). My only issue with this is that I’ve been on the pill for over four years because my period was so awful that I almost ended up in the hospital due to my iron levels. So I guess I want to hear stories of those of you that went off the pill after being on it? And for those of you who don’t take hormonal BC and have bad periods, what do you do to help?
