Greetings beautiful BnB babe's.
I wanted to share that I was on ortho-tricyclen for 3 years, then nuva ring for 7 years before I stopped hormonal birth control in order to get pregnant. After quitting I bled for 2 months then I only got a scant period every 2-3 months for a little over a year. It was heartbreaking. I thought I was broken. I sunk into a "no baby for me" depression. Then I went to a new gyno, actually an ancient gyno, I think he must have been in his 70's. He prescribed clomid without tests, ultrasounds etc... And poof, the second round I ovulated for the first time since quitting BC and became pregnant with my daughter.
Here is what concerns me. I think that taking the birth control since I was first menstruating, then for 10 years after caused a disruption in my system. I know many women take it with no problems conceiving. But we are all snowflakes. Things effect us differently.
Does anyone else see this link? I am pretty alarmed by it. I feel like I was taken advantage of as a teenager by the medical profession. Nobody told me it could ruin my fertility they only wanted to sell a product. Keep another young girl from getting pregnant. But at what cost. They could have just educated me on condoms.
On a positive note, 15 months after my child was born I resumed a reasonably normal menstrual cycle every 30-35 days.
