Hello, I was just wondering is there any side effects to not having a pill free week on Mercilon contraceptive pill. This sounds silly but for the last three months I have been forgetting to take my pill free week, not sure what this may have done to my body. I have actually come of it now (been off for a week and it appears I m having my withdrawal bleed) I have come of it as me and partner trying for a baby. Do you have any idea how long it will take to conceive or when I will start ovulating again. Me and my partner are in our early and mid twenties eat healthy and no health problems in the family. I have also not had any problems with periods in the past and for most part been regular. Thanks
