Taking some time off…

We have been ttc for 5 years, no joy what so ever. I’d been suffering from really painful and heavy periods for the last year or so, enough was enough and i decided to go back on the pill in May. I have heard of people deciding to go back on the pill to give their hormones a kick start, i was wondering if anyone has has tried this and had a successful outcome? I’v decided that i’m going to take it for 6 months, and give myself a rest from all the stress from the ttc.
