Coming off the combined pill. Help!

I have just picked up my last prescription of Brevinor as we're planning to start TTC in April Smile

Randomly started reading the leaflet that comes in the box and it says 'it is advisable to stop taking Brevinor 3 months before you want to start trying for a baby'.

Now I'm confused, is this just a normal recommendation for TTC after the pill or specific to this pill for a reason?

Any advice would be useful thanks ladies x

The pill can take up to one year to be completely out of your system.

Hey, I came off combined pill last month, ovulated cd18 on 6th December. Tomorrow is cd30 and I haven't come on yet... who knows! Everyone is different some people have got pregnant straight after coming off the pill! X

Thanks for your replies. I guess I know to expect cycles to return slowly but wondered if this specific message on the leaflet meant I should think about coming off the pill sooner as it is proven to need 3 months to come off. I guess we will just have to wait and see!
