Hi there and welcome.  Well, I presume that you trust your doctor and that is why you are his patient, correct?  :>)  So, trust your doctor.  That is indeed a common occurrence when on long term birth control therapy.  Think about it, you are manipulating your hormones.  You are preventing pregnancy. Your body will not react the same way when on birth control pills when OFF of birth control pills.  So, when you are thinking about getting ready to conceive, stop the birth control pills and you should see this resolve.  Give yourself some time without the expectation of going off of them and conceiving that month.  Allow there to be a period of time that you expect your body is working to get back to non birth control pill level of functioning.  Don't panic.  Not something to worry about in my opinion .  good luck
