Coming off Birth Control after many years on (Feb 2020)

Anyone else stopping their birth control around now after being on it a long time and planning on TTC in 9 months or so?

I was on combination birth control for about 16 years. I don't remember what my period was like before birth control or the 1-2 years I didn't take it, so I have zero assumptions or expectations, I feel like I am back to being in middle school just waiting and having to be prepared at all times but now I am 33!

Discussed with my SO (age 35) of 5 years (no intention of getting married currently due to personal reasons) but we both want kids, don't want to be "old parents" and we love each other's families, have a house, stable careers etc. I assured him that I don't want to get pregnant ASAP because I don't even really know what I am like off the pill and know we aren't exactly ready so we plan on using condoms for the time being.

Anyone else in a similar situation? I can't seem to find a group that fits exactly or even close to what I am looking for.

Thanks!
