I'm planning to become pregnant but the doctor put me on birth control?

Question

I'm irregular with my periods so the doctor put me on the pill birth control. I know it prevents pregnancy but I don't want to prevent pregnancy I'm trying to become pregnant. Is it just to regulate my periods first an then try a little bit later? Did any of you ladies have to take the birth control pill for I'm not sure how many months then got pregnant? I've took birth control before last year then stopped. Should I just take them?

Answer

I have Pcos. Had no periods at all in 2014. In January of this year I found a better obgyn. She started me on BC pills then a few months in she started me on 200 mg ER metformin(I am not diabetic). So I was confused and didn't want to take either med. But then in July she said to stop taking the BC pill and guess what!? I've been regular ever since and started clomid in September. AAANNNNDDDDD I just found out that I am 4 weeks pregnant!!! I will say tho I think it's the metformin that helped. Cuz my previous ob had tried the BC pill for a while and then when she told me to stop taking it and see if I get my period regularly, it didn't happen. So apparently for me it was the combination of BC and metformin that helped me get my cycle regular. I think it's more of a trial and error situation to see what will work for each individual :)

I was put on birth control to help regulate my periods too. I so happen to get pregnant while on it. I'm now 38 weeks. I would just take it to regulate at least two cycles then, stop taking them

Answer

This is one of those times where you can never ask too many questions before your appointment ends.

Answer

I have pcos and my periods have never been regular, the longest I went without was around 18months. Myself and my partner have been trying to have a baby for over two years now. I seen my doctor recently and explained, she wanted to put me on the pill but obviously I said no as I was trying to get pregnant not prevent it, so I had to go to the hospital and they gave me some medication to start my periods and also some other medication to take from the 2-6 day of my period to stimulate my ovaries. I have to do that for two months as well as going for blood test 21 days after each period to check if the meds are working. If not then they will discuss ivf.
