Is it OK to start talking estrogen to regulate your period and try to get pregnant when having issues. Without asking doctor first?

Who’s on birth control?

My OB keeps pushing me to go on birth control. Now she says my endometrium is very very thick and I should be on birth control. I was for many many years prior and this is why I didn’t want it now. Who’s on birth control? How do you feel about it?
