Sometimes being on the pill can mask an existing problem with fertility.

My story is that I took the pill for about 10 years with one or two breaks. Went off it for six months to give my body a break (not TTC and using alternative contraception) and my cycles were normal 28 day cycles from the first month. I went back on it and fell pg the first cycle back on the pill.

But my ob said from looking at my scans that he isn't surprised, I have 'beautiful' ovaries (the things that impress obs!). He deals with PCOS and fertility issues with couples, so I'm guessing he sees a lot that aren't.

I'm not using the pill for contraception ever again, even though our gorgeous baby girl is the best surprise I've ever had!
