Pregnancy Question?


I'm currently on a low dose birth control pill. I've been taking the pill for three years now (since I've been married). I'm in my early twenties and my husband and I feel that we may be ready to start trying to conceive. It sounds weird but we're going to start trying in August. So how long should I be off of the pill before we try? Is their a good chance that I won't be able to get pregnant? *family history is that the women in my family are "fertile myrtles". They get pregnant the first time without any protection. * Any thoughts? >

Thanks for your thoughts. I have thought about the possibility of effects on the baby, and because I'm on such a low dose pill, I'm not as worried about side effects. I'm more worried about how being on the pill for 3 years will effect me being able to conceive. Thanks for your thoughts though.
Best answer:
It is said that you should use a barrier method for about 3 months prior to trying to conceive. This is mainly so that you can get yourself onto a normal (non-chemically altered) cycle. This way too, you'll be able to tell EXACTLY when you ovulated and thereby got pregnant.

I would recommend doing exactly that. The theory behind the method is sound.
