Hi - Can I ask what ended up happening for you? I too have been off bc for many years because I hated the side effects and had already been on so many birth control pills from the age of 13 to 30. Through diet and exercise following my second surgery in 2016 my symptoms are almost nonexistent but I worry about my fertility after those years without bc (I've been off hormones since 2017 and feel amazing). I'm now hoping to conceive and looking for success stories. Were you able to get pregnant without IVF or other hormonal treatments?

Ask your dr for a prescription prenatal vitamin. If u r doing an over the counter prenatal then you will also need to take a folic acid supplement, the otc prenatal does not have enough folic acid in it. I have learned that from my ivf dr. You can also start tracking your ovulation with the ovulation kids. U should also ask your dr for bloodwork to check your ovariann reserve and egg quality.
