I agree with your doctor. you may only be 'regular' for a few cycles, and then your irregularity comes back. The pill will usually quiet the ovaries, but some women will still form cysts on the pill, perhaps that is what you mean by "ovulating on the pill". Nevertheless, try and conceive as soon as possible...Dr. von Almen
