A member asked:

I finished my last pack of birth control pills 16 days ago and am now trying for a baby. i've been told i should wait 3 months before trying to conceive, because if i get pregnant too soon, i'm more likely to miscarry due to the pills. is that true?

Yes: You really don't want the first egg "out of the box" after long term suppression for genetic /miscarriage reasons.
