I’ve been on and off the pill so many times since my teens I can’t even count. I had bad reactions to some pills and would just stop taking it (bad!). It only took a few months off the pill when I got pregnant the first time, but I’d only been on it a few months.

I got pregnant with my daughter when i was 19. After she was born I went on the pill. I was on it until late 2001. That's when my husband and I decided to try to have a baby. It took forever for my cycles to become even somewhat regular. I didn't get pregnant until late spring of 2004. It was very a very frustrating time for me. Sex started to be a "chore" and my period was the enemy. Your body will come around, just try to stay patient with it:) Beckys last blog post..I’m back!!

I had so many problems on the pill, they kept changing my perscription, and I ended up pregnant while still taking it! I was really young at the time. I then had a coil inserted, which put me in the hospital with an infection. I ended up with my tubes being tied before I turned 22. My daughter was born in 1984, so luckily there have been advancments in birth control since then. She has had one child, but is now on the birthcontrol patch. I have had friends get the injection, but I think that stays in your system for 6 months, and two of the people I know that took it ended up with really bad headaches etc. Loris last blog post..Photo Album: Hot Toddy

The pill had the opposite effect on me, I found I was wet ALL the time. Very awkward at times.

You’re going to hate me, but I fell pregnant with Amy within 1 month of coming off the pill.

2nd time around it isn’t that easy though.

I’ve never been on the pill either so I can’t add much to the conversation.

I have never been on the pill so I don’t have any personal information to give. However, I do think that anything that affects hormone cycles will take a while to sort itself out. It is the same after pregnancy itself or breastfeeding – it takes at least 6 months for your hormones to settle down, and sometimes a lot lot longer than that. I know my hormones were really screwy for a good two years after I had my fourth child.

Just like many RXs- diff side effects for each person. I took the pill from 1968 to 1973 – got pg in about 6mos. Took it again from 1974 to 1981. And then, again, from about 1986 to 1995. Got pg within 6 mos each time I tried to get pg. The only side effect I had was the minimal weight gain. I hope that you continue to “heal” from the side effects.

I think I was on the pill for about three years, and got pregnant as soon as I discontinued. I think overfertility (and twins!) runs in our family though. Buncha horny buggers. witchypoos last blog post..Mother’s Day Blues
