How to go off the Pill?

I want to go off the pill because I feel that the longer I stay on it, I might not be able to have kids later in life. And how good is it to put hormones into your body? I have been on the pill for 3 years and heard that you gain weight and have awful side effects?

Hi, I was on the pill Apri for a little over a yr. Had a laparoscopy and hysteroscopy for endo, a polyp and a cyst. After that I wanted to try for a baby. Anyways, I stopped my birth control the same day I had my surgery and I've never had a problem. I'm not sure about everyone but that was what happened to me. Everything was fine. I had surgery on June 25th, 2010 and so it's been almost 3 weeks. I hope this helps. Good luck, take care! :D
