taking birth control to regulate my periods when can I stop and try for a baby?

Question

I missed my period for 3 months the doctor told me I'm probably not ovulating and I have a slightly elevated level of DHEAS so she recommended birth control to help regulate my periods but I wanna try for a baby. I feel like I should regulate my periods first then try to get pregnant how many packs should I take then stop? Will it take me longer to get pregnant after taking them? Also I'm trying to put on a little more weight

Answer

I would say to stay off the birthcontrol. Since it has hormones in it and you are ttc. I too am ttc. And my dr. Told me the same thing. He said usually ladies that take it for 3-6 months then get off they get pregnant right away. I didn't have the problem where  I wasn't having periods. But they were off. And seemed weird. I took it for 2 months then decided to let it to cause I wanted to try again. I stopped in august. I researched so much into how I could boost fertility and make it easier to get prego. Since well it's been 2 years and nothing. 
I looked into vitex chaste berry and maca. Look up vitex!! It is suppose to regulate hormones. Look up the success stories. I'm on my second cycle with it and so far it's good. My cycles are 27 days apart. This is my first cycle on maca. And I would have to say I love it. Both can be found in health food stores or gnc. Vitex is an herb. So it's perfectly safe. Maca. Is  a food in peru. (Maca root) it is also safe. 
They both act to help regulate hormones naturally without actually having any hormones in it what so  ever so it's awesome. 
Something you might want to consider. 
Start taking vitamins. B6, evening primrose oil. Multivitamin, iron, fish oil. 
I also drink raspberry leaf tea. And apple cider vinegar (braggs) and this cycle in going to start using preseed. 
Also decaf green tea. Is good too. 
If you are trying to also put on weight. That might actually be the cause. Try drinking shakes like 2-3 times a day in between meals. I like to use banana, Greek yogurt, protein powder, flax seed. And other fruits. You can use whole milk or ice cream. But use a good amount since you're trying to put on weight. I hope this helps. Look into the stuff I suggested. I think it'll help for you

Answer

I was on birth control for about 5 years and when me and my boyfriend decided to conceive I was only off birth control for a month and I'm 15 weeks pregnant today. It's really up to you as to what you wanna do.

Answer

You need a doctor to give you provera/clomid to help you have real periods and ovulate. With birth control you don't actually get a period- you stop ovulating and when you get your "period" during the placebo week it's actually not a period at all- just withdrawal bleeding since the placebo pills don't have hormones in them.

Birth control pills don't regulate periods, they regulate your vaginal bleeding. You have to ovulate to have a period and birth control stops the ovulation so again, it's just "withdrawal" bleeding.

Answer

That is something to ask your doctor for sure, but to be honest you don't need regular periods to get pregnant, I had irreagular periods and I tried using this to try an track them ( it actually kept up with my irreagular periods pretty good) anyway though I got pregnant not trying to lol. Best of luck to you 😊
