birth control

I have been on the birth control pill for 7 years. I have never taken a break from it. I'm only 23 and don't plan on having children for another 5 years or so, should I wait to 'take a break' from the pill, or should i have done that years ago??? What's the proper way to keep yourself "fertile" if you plan on having kids later?

That's a good question to ask your doctor. I know of no studies than indicate being on hormonal contraceptives impairs fertility in the long term, or that taking a break improves it. If I were you and was on a method that works well for me I'd stick with it. Thanks for posting,
Take care,
Jill
Talk to your doctor, you may think you're hearing an echo! ;)
