Now that we are married and talks about TTC have come up, it's got me thinking about switching my birth control and how to go about it, time-wise.
I've been on the depo shot for about 6 years - yes, I know the pros/cons, have worked with a doctor, etc. Because I have been on it so long and it's worked well for me, I haven't had a period in that amount of time. I've read that it can take 6 months for the drug to leave your system, then for your body to get regular again can take 9-12 months.
Have any of you switched your birth control, and if so how was the experience? I know this will vary woman to woman.
I'm debating switching to the pill when my next shot is due (in a week), so that hopefully in the next year my body will figure itself out, and we can begin TTC about this time next year. I know there are endless variables that can effect one's ability to get pregnant, but I know the birth control is a factor I can at least have control over.
