Pregnancy After Birth Control Posted: 02-01-04 18:31pm
I would like to go on birth control to
prevent any accidental children.I would
like to have kids one day in my future.
Will being on birth control for a long
time prevent me from having children afer
I stop taking it?

You should have no problems conceiving
after being on bc. There are many women
who are on it 10-15 years, and they go on
to have healthy children.
Just make sure you look at all options of
birth control. Some women have a harder
time having a baby after being on the
shot-depo provera. I have not seen any
medical claims by the makers of depo
saying that a women couldn't become
pregnant, but I have heard of many women
taking years to conceive after coming off
of it.
Good luck!

I also have heard that the shot (depo) can
make it harder to have children after
going off of it. I heard it can take up
to 2 years or more! That is why I went
on ortho-tricycline. I went off of it in
june of 2002 and didn't get pregnant until
december of 2002. I had a healthy baby
girl. I would highly suggest not getting
the shot, justb because you may want to
have a child right away after you stop and
you never know if it could take a few
years to wear totally off.
