If you're looking to actually have babies, just be sure to ask your physician how long it'll take after you stop taking it before you can conceive. Some of the methods have quite a long waiting period (months to a year) before you body readjusts and allows you to conceive....

I don't know if you're more fertile or not after you stop taking the pill but usually your doctor will let you know a certain amount of time after you've stopped before you can start trying to conceive... the hormones in the BC pills stay in your system and aren't good for a developing fetus.... or something like that. A friend of mine was told 6 months after she's been off the pill she can start seriously trying.

LOL my sister got pregnant both times less than a month after going off the pill - it was funny bc it was like one week she was saying ' oh we are going t o try and maybe in a few months we will try more seriously' and then the NEXT week she was like 'um i have some big news. . .' LOL
that is why if i like skip a pill i freak out - crazy fertile family! LOL
oh yeah and girls taking the pill experiencing low 'libido' he he i hate that word - i went on LoEstrin 24 and noticed a SIGNIFICANT improvement with that - and i also am not ridiculously depressed any more and a crazy person . . .well just not AS crazy!

So good to know. I've been on the Pill for 8 years, and recently switched to Yasmin b/c of an insurance issue, and it was the WORST - I cried every day for 4 months, and my libido went from normal to nonexistent... as in, when I'd feel bad and try to do it with FH, it actually hurt (TMI, sorry!). So I figured I'd just stop taking the Pill because why did I need it - we were only together once every 6 or 7 weeks anyway (poor FH!). But now that I'm off of it... of course, I'm myself again.
So I'm glad you started this thread because I've been wondering the same thing, about the ring, the patch, etc. I figure it's all the same chemicals anyway, just coming to you in a different form? So if I had a problem with the Pill, wouldn't I have a problem with those? The first 7 years I was on the Pill there was no problem, but my experience with Yasmin scared me so much, I'm afraid to take ANY pill now, actually. If I want Loestrin I'll have to pay for it - my insurance co. doesn't pay for that brand. But I guess $40 a month is worth it.

I'm on Loestrin and I really like it, however I changed insurance and they don't cover it either... I've been being charged 54 dollars!! I think that price is insane, I don't know what to do though!

If you go through target pharmacy it's a little cheaper, maybe $40, dont' quote me on that but I'm sure you can call and ask. Also, when my insurance didn't cover it, I asked my dr. for samples and she gave me 3 packs (score!)
Question: I have been on the pill for about 7 years now and my libido has disappeared. I have been on ortho-lo. Is there a better pill. Im sure the FH will be pleased if i switch.

you can do the patch, the shots (depo provera, I know I spelled this wrong but that is how it sounds). or the nuva ring there is also really scary other stuff that I won't bother mentioning. I have no personal recommendations on any of them but I took a class on this stuff.
