One of my cousins got married a year ago to the man she had been dating since high school - so they were dating for like 8 years. She started on birth control, and b/c her doctor said it was ok to do, she continuously took the pill. So for almost 7 years she skipped her period. Well after they got married she went off the pill and ever since then they have been trying to get pregnant. One year of trying and no success  Some people speculate that the pill could cause you to go infertile if you skip your period for long amounts of time.

If I remember correctly, if you take the pill regularly (without skipping the last week) for a long period of time, when you get off of it your cycle will be irregular for a while and getting pregnant is difficult. That is why it is suggested that you take the pill for a while, then get off, back on, etc.
