i've been on Diane 35 for the last 2 years & i'm afraid that i'll not be able to get pregnant

I am 26 years old & have no kids & never got pregnant.
before I start taking the pills I used to have irregular period that it comes once every 3 months, sometimes it comes after a month or 5 months (IRREGULAR)

what are really the possibilities to get pregnant??? & what do I have to do regarding that?
I am really worried & confused that i may not have pregnancy once I stop the pills, help please....

I was on BCP for over 15 years and ended up pregnant the 3rd month off of them. My periods were always monthly though. I'm assuming that you were put on BCP to correct your lack of periods.
I'd talk to your OBGYN about our concerns. I have a friend that had irregular periods due to PCOS. At the age of 13 she started taking BCP she is 30 yr old now. She got off BCP 3 years ago and was put on progesterone only pills to make her ovulate every month. She has a baby girl now 1 1/2 yr old. She's back on BCP now but will get off in a few years to have another.

actually I used them for birth control purpose only. My obegynecologist told me that birth control pill is not a way to regulate period. I think that my irregular period assumes little or no ovulation occurs & this makes me much worried. So what are these progesteron pills? & what are they given for?
I've done a vaginal ultrasound to find that ovaries & ovums are normal, but this was at the 5th day of my period after the pills course. Then another doctor told me that this wasn't right to do it while you are on the pills, you have to stop them at least for a month then you come & do the sonar. She also requested blood progesteron & prolactin assay at the first day of my period (ok to be on the pills).
So what do you think about that?
Is there a way to regulate my period so it comes every month (other than the pills)?

Normally mini pills AKA progesterone only pills are to stop your from ovulation so I don't know why they suggested for her to take them. It worked. You have to take them every day at the same time. If not break through bleeding is very high and pregnancy is a higher risk while on them.

It's the same as other birth control just minus the estrogen.
