Pregnancy after BC

Hanna

I’ve been taking birth control for 8(ish) years (since I started my period basically). I’ve really been considering stopping my birth control because of some body effects that I’ve had for years that I think are related to the pills and I’m just honestly sick of. My long term boyfriend and I also have been thinking about children (in near future) and we know that since I have been on the pill for so long it might take awhile for my body to adjust to being off of the pill for me to actually ovulate and get pregnant. Does anyone actually know how long it might take for birth control to clear of your body and for you to start ovulating again?? Any stories of your own??
