5 years.
I'm torn between staying on it or going off of it.
We are not TTC so that is not the issue, but the Pill has helped alleviate a lot of my cramping, irregular cycles, and heavy bleeding.

Mm been on pills since i was 15 due to wacky flow. It settled em out. Now I use the Nuva ring though and really love that. All the ease of the pacth (even easier) and yet none of the wackadoo side effects.

just went off it this month and I love being off it, my mood is so much better, and so far AF is actually better!

I was on for 4 years, but I just stopped taking it after the honeymoon. We are thinking about ttc in the Fall and I want to be off for a few months before we try.

Since I was 16, so 8 years. I asked the doc about it also and he said I could stay on it forever if I wanted. I hope that's true!

Re: how long have you been on the pill (if youre on it)

15 years but I recently had a sonogram of my parts and everything is exactly how it should be!! I was checking to make sure that being on the pill for that long wouldn't affect me later for trying to conceive
