Birth Control, Timing and when to stop....

I haved a couple of different questions. I had aubree 6 months ago and I have been on ortho tri cyclen lo for about 3 months now and I love it!!! I've had no side effects ( i did gain 10 lbs but not to worried about that).. Matt (dh) and I want to start trying to have another child when aubree is about 13 or 14 months old...  when should i take myself off the pill.. 3 or 4 months ahead of time? How long does it normally take your body to get all the of the birth contol outta your system and be back to normal?

You know what having hunter in July wasnt as bad as I though it was going to be! I think being pregnant with Ethan was harder I got pregnant in FEb-March and had him in Nov! With a May baby you get to have him or her right before it gets HOT!
