on birth control pills for too long???

[hypochondriacmedstud]

I have been on birth control pills for 10 years now.  I am 28 and plan on having children in 2 years. Does being on birth control for too many years interfere with chances of getting pregnant??

Tk pills for 7yrs, got pg w/in 3mo.
Tk patch for a few mo, then used spermicide for a few mo, the mo I quit using spermicide I was pg :)
Hope it happens as soon as you want it too!!!

I'd start taking prenatal vit..!!

I WAS ON THE PILL FOR 8 YEARS AND I QUIT TAKING THEM AND WITHIN 1 MONTH I WAS PREGNANT!  SOMETIMES IT JUST TAKES A LITTLE LONGER AND SOMETIMES IT DOESN'T.  LOTS OF BABY DUST FOR YOU AND GOOD LUCK!

I was on bc pills for almost 5 years, it took me 2 years to be finally pregnant after getting off the pill.  It's different for every women.  Sometimes it takes longer, sometimes you get pg right away.  Good luck to you!

there should be no effect on your future fertility.

I recently just got off the pill myself and had been on the pill for 6 years or so.  All of the reading i've done suggests that the pill does not have a negative effect for someone TTC.  Sometimes it takes awhile for a woman's body to "return to normal" after stopping the pill.  The reading suggests that after stopping the pill, you should have regular periods within 3 months.  Though, some people ovulate right away.  I've also read some studies that suggest the pill actually can improve fertility.  hope this helps.
