Conception
is it dangerous to use the pill for fertility purposes?

What I mean is I know that I ovulate for some time after being on the pill even though in normal circumstances I don't often ovulate, so would it be safe to go on the pill for say 02 or 03 months and then ttc straight afterwards? Has anyone ever tried this?

That's how I conceived. Everyone had given up on me. Nothing else had worked and I'd tried everything. I'd even started the adoption process. Then I went on the pill for three months. I got sick with my thyroid and knew it would be dangerous to attempt to get pregnant then so I went on the pill for another three months. The ovulation pain was unbearable when I stopped the pill and I conceived that first month. the trick is to not have a break for three months and then the hormone surge allows you to ovulate. I hope this works for you.
