Coming off the pill

[Ajuliette]

My husband and I have decided to start trying to get pregnant. I’m currently on the combined pill just started the second week of this blister pack I’m just wondering should I stop them now or wait till the end of the blister pack to stop taking them? Also do i need to wait a month till we start trying I read somewhere you should but I don’t know how true that is.

You need to talk to a medical professional before stopping and it can take up to 6 months for you body to return to normal.

I think you are getting mixed up with the depo provera injection

[Galen70]

No you can stop immediately and start trying straight away, remember to take folic acid

Great thank you 😊. I got some folic acid the other day 😊

When me and my partner wanted to try it just stopped taking the pill (combined ) pill and I got pregnant and few months later I also took zinc tablets which helped me become more fertile.
