I have been on the same pill for 8 years (Dianne) and my GYN wants to change it following my lap next month, should it prove that I have endometriosis. I am thinking about just giving it up all together and using condoms.

I haven't discussed it with DH yet and I don't think he'll be too keen on the idea but I would love to give my body a break. I've only had two years of normal AF so I have no idea what my cycle is like. We hope to TTC mid to late next year and we hadn't planned for me to go off the pill until June.

Has anyone else faced this dilemma? How did you explain it to your DH that you didn't want to stay on the pill (but weren't ready to TTC yet)?

I am tempted to tell a white lie and say the GYN recommended I go off it .

I don't want to go off in the hope I will fall pregnant sooner - I just want to have a natural, normal cycle again.
