Hey everybody! This is my first time posting my own thread on here. I have a question and I'd like to hear everybody's thoughts, you don't need to be a scientist to answer. So I've been on the same birth control pill for four years. Never missed one, never took it late, etc. Well my husband and I have decided we're finally ready to start trying for a baby. I'm supposed to start my next pack of pills on Thursday, so if I Just don't take them, when will I become fertile again? What are your experiences with pregnancy after birth control? And to people who just stopped the pill for various reasons: were there any bad side effects?
