conceiving after the pill

I’ve been taking microgynon on and off for last 2 years now, the most consistent I’ve been is for the last 10 months..

However after reading so many scare stories of periods not coming for 2/3 months I’m thinking should I take a short break from it? Will it be a healthy detox from all the hormones?

I’m not planning to conceive for another few months but I just want to know how long it generally takes women to convince ‘post-pill’.. Alhamdulillah I have no (known of) underlying illnesses, could you share any experiences?

It really depends on person to person, some might conceive within a month or it might take some few months or more. Consult your obgyn.

I took loestrin and another brand can’t remember, but when I came off of it my periods took about a year to become regular.

As some one mentioned it is different for everyone. If you had irregular periods before you went on the pill, there is a big chance it will go back to that. So whatever is causing the irregular periods might also interfere with your ability to conceive. However as said this is not necessary, you might also be able to conceive right away.

I suppose you’re right in that every woman is different but what scares me is not knowing which category I fall into. .

A whole year?? Wow do you think that there’s any relation between the period of time we take the pill and the length of time it takes to recover our natural cycle?

I was on and off microgynon for agess.. from about the age of 16 to mid twenties..

Not trying to conceive right now but haven’t noticed anything strange due to being on the pill..

(I did miss a few periods at the start of this year but that was totally unrelated)

Did you recover back into your regular cycle within one or two months everytime you went back off it?

Also if you dont mind me asking, did you feel there was any side effects from when you stopped taking it?

Yes, I did..

I didn’t have any noticeable side effects when I stopped taking it..

I don’t think there is any correlation between the length of period you take the pills and the recovery period so to say afterwards. I took them for three months then stopped for three months and then went on them again for two months. Maybe it was the constant stopping and restarting for me. I didn’t have issues conceiving though alhumdullilah. I just noticed my cycles weren’t as regular for a while after, but then they did eventually become very regular (even more than before I began them).
