coming off the combined pill

Hi

I'm relatively new to all of this as I've only ever had two 'surprise' pregnancies in the past that both ended in miscarriages. I'm looking to come off the pill now and try properly in the hopes of having a successful pregnancy. Has anybody taken rigevidon (combined pill) for a long time, stopped taking and managed to get pregnant quickly? I've taken this back to back (no breaks) for 7 years, not sure how quickly periods return or how soon I could start ovulating etc

Also, would love any advice on if I should start taking any vitamins whilst trying if so, which ones would you recommend?

Thanks in advance 💗(feel like this is a really stupid question but I'm genuinely clueless)

I come off Rigevidon twice and gotten pregnant within a few months each time. My cycle returned staight away, having a withdrawal bleed a few days after stopping and a period a few weeks after that. I am currently 9 weeks pregnant. Definitely start taking folic acid straight away and I'd recommend a pre-conception multivitamin too

@Bumblebee1984 Also, sorry if this is too personal but would you say your periods were worse after coming off the pill when they returned?
