pill user in conceiving...
femme1979

i am a pill user for almost 10 years now. just recently i will be marrying my long-time bf and have this fear that i might have a very hard time conceiving due to a long-term usage of pill. is there any connections about it?


phoebe

i myself is a self-confessed pill long-term user and haven't experienced to have a hard pregnancy.


tracy

i don't think it could harm you or rather make it harder for you to conceive. there is no basis for that.


dianne

no evidence that long-term use of pill will cause you to be infertile.


elijah

in fact, there is a study about that issue that about 74% of those women who have been a long-term pill user conceived within 6 months and the rest of those percentage conceives after a year.



deborah

well, sometimes there are chances that it will really affect you. my friend have that kind of problem and mind you, not only she had become imfertile, she also developed a cyst in her ovary.


sheena

that's scary, yes maybe sometimes there are instances that it would really affect your fertility.


ashley

well, it wouldn't make you any lesser to be infertile but it would only delay your conception.


harlem

this doesn't mean you will be infertile. this has been associated only with those complications that a pill may cause you.



betsy

just like what harlem? yes i've heard that kind of explanation but haven't take it seriously.


harlem

it would actually cause you ovarian and uterine cancers, just like deborah mentioned a while ago with her friend who has a cyst. that cyst might develop into cancer.


aida

yes, exactly. also it would complicate you to have endometriosis, ectopic pregnancy and pelvic inflammatory disease.


we_women

it would never be harmful unless if your usage will be in an abusive way.


viktoria

A: if you happen in planning to conceive and you are a pill user, you better stop taking the pill for 2 to 3 months before trying the chance to have a baby.


trista

yes that is correct. sometimes if you don't stop using pill or you abruptly stop taking the pill and you wanted to have a baby, chances are you might have the higher risk of miscarriage.


sandy

doctors would have to advice you to have a one natural period before trying to conceive.


zyger

that is best so that you will be sure enough that by the time you are conceiving, you will have a healthy pregnancy.
