[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wouldn’t. I was on the pill for 15 years and regret being on it for so long because at some point I stopped having periods but never noticed bc I’d get a small period when not taking the active pills. So when I went off the pill after getting married and hoping to have kids, I never got my period back and needed fertility treatment to get pregnant. The drs don’t know why my period stopped when it was regular before going on the pill. If I could do it over I never would’ve gone on birth control, especially for that long. [/quote]

Exact same story here. I went on it as a teenager and was on it until I was 28, married and ready to start thinking about trying. I'd had very normal regular periods before going on the pill...came off it and my period never returned. I needed fertility meds to get pregnant. [/quote]

I was on the pill form 16 to 35. I very often skipped the inactive pills so I wouldn't get my period. I went off the pill and three months later was pregnant. I had my first child at 36 and took birth control pills for a year. Went off them and within 2 months was pregnant and had second child at 38. Now on Mirena and haven't had a period in years. No weight gain or depression. Just has been really convenient not to have periods. [/quote]
