so I was put on a low dose birth control called NIKKI. My doctor is hoping that my period would come back naturally when I get off NIKKI. Has anyone had success getting pregnant once they got off a low dose birth control?

I got pregnant twice right after I went off birth control (was trying, not accident) before I knew I had PCOS. I then went off bc for long term and couldn't get pregnant after a year or so being off bc. I went to dr and found out I had PCOS. I believe I got pregnant so easily because it was right after I got off bc. No doctor has ever told me this was true but it makes sense to me

For many once bc is stopped it can take 3 to 6 months before ones fertile again or a year plus depending on length of time on it n onrs body reactions. BC only covers up it doesnt treat the ròot of pcos.
