Maggie, That's why I was asking...I've never heard of this either. If anything, it seems to me that it would be harder to conceive being that the cycle can get screwed up at times coming off the pill. Your theory did make sense, though :) The prof said she'd never heard of that either, but I just wanted to ask to check! Thanks for your help, I appreciate it! Good luck in Med School, nursing school seems tough enough!
