My RE told me in 1997 to try to get pregnant as soon as I went off the pill and within a few weeks, I was pregnant. This second time, I haven't been so lucky, but I think it's because I was on a triphasic pill this time at the insistence of my ob who knows nothing about pcos and I think it didn't suppress my hormones enough. I also went to a neonatologist at a teaching hospital (Jefferson in Philly, PA) and they said as long as you don't get pregnant while you're on the pill, there is no risk to the fetus by getting pregnant immediately after you stop taking them. Good luck! Karen At Mon, 29 Jan 2001, Dave wrote: >
