Hi everyone! I've been a lurker here for a while (mostly on the Ask Cathe forum, but now that we are planning on starting a family, more so on this one!). My husband and I have decided that we want to start trying to have a baby within the next 6 months to a year. I have been on the Pill for about ten years. I have an appointment in Feb. with an ob/gyn to discuss stopping the Pill, but when I asked if I could stop now, the receptionist mentioned something about being "weaned off" the Pill. I have never heard of this before, and was wondering if anyone else had and could tell me about it? Also, I was wondering if anyone else used the Pill for a long time and had problems getting pregnant? I previously would go to my family doctor for my yearly check-up, who would assure me that it was fine to continue on for the length of time I did. I would like to know others' experiences, though, if anyone would like to share. Thanks!
