Question
I have been on Ortho Tri Cyclin for about 3 years now and it works great for me, no problems at all. My husband and I want to get pregnant after I am done with college which will be in another two years about. I am wondering if being on birth control for about 5 years will make it harder to get pregnant or make it take longer. Thank you!

Answer
Hi Tanya,
I'm not a medical doctor but I have read articles that this is the case. Please check with your physician or I can research this for you if you let me know you are interested. Please email me at DCHERYL51@yahoo.com Hope to hear from you soon.
