Hi,

Hormonal contraceptives contains derivatives of female hormones, estrogen and progesterone. Hence, after stopping the drug, this drug will not affect your fertility. You may take one or two months for your cycles to regularise since your body needs to adjust to the new hormone levels. I would suggest you to start taking folic acid supplements since you are planning for pregnancy.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Saranya Ramadoss, General & Family Physician
