On birth control pills for 8 yrs & plan to have children within the next 3-5 yrs..?

Question

Should I discontinue my prescription soon? How likely will my years of taking birth control effect the possibility of conceiving?

Answer 1

You should not be on the pill that long withoput atleast a years break, its unsafe and that is what my doctor told me. It should not effect you conceiving. Years ago they used to say though that when u stop the pill do not try to get pregnant until after being off of the pill for 3 month until it has worked its way out of your system. If you do try for a baby you must take folic acid while trying to conceive and for 3 months into the pregnancy. Good Luck
