The pill and pregnancy

So yesterday at work my boss told me that you have to stop your pill at a minimum of a year before you can get pregnant. It's took her 3 years to get pregnant without the pill because she's been on it since she was 17 (now 30) and it's acted as a contraceptive. If you ask me, that sounds like a pretty good form of contraception. Obviously I understand it's not always the case but I think anyone who's not on it should get on the pill. Just a bit of info for you gurlies
