Trying to get pregnant after taking Seasonale?

Question

So I took Seasonale (the one were you only get your priod one every three months) for 2 years and now we are trying to get pregnant. The problem is I'm still only getting my period once every three months. I stopped taking the pill in December and only gotten it twice since. Has this happen to anyone else. And If so when did you start to be on a regular cyle and how long till you got prego. Any help would be great thanks

Answer 1

I am on Seasonale right now, and I will be TTC in about 10 months. I have read extensively about Seasonale and its impacts on fertility. Everything I have read suggests that seasonale is just like any other birth control pill in regards to future fertility.

This means it may take some women several months to resume a normal cycle, whereas other women resume a normal cycle immediately.

Here is a quote from an article, and a link to the article:

About 3/4 of the way down the page:

What about future fertility, a concern that many women have about skipping periods? “From an ob-gyn point of view, there is no known medical downside,” Hoskins says. “Over 70% of women will be back to ‘normal’ immediately after they stop taking the pills — normal periods, normal ability to conceive.”
