She said it had been a year since I started taking it and it would be okay to stop it. This happened a few months ago.

OP, have you considered working with children? It would give you an idea of their needs and you would also make money and learn to be independent.
I think the first step is making healthy decisions for yourself, eg a stable relationship and lifestyle. If you are serious about kids, you'd have to figure out how to prepare your body (eg slowly get off aomemeds under supervision, take prenatal vits etc) I also read you have had issues with clots, so thats an extra risk your doctor needs to deal with during pregnancy. Then you would have to make sure you are mentally committed and physically, financially, emotionally and logistically prepared to care for your child for at least the next 18 years. This is something you could talk to your parents about, or ask here in the forum.
Don't know if you still feel you want to have a baby, or whethr you read through some concerns by members, but I urge you to seruously make an effort to discuss with your doctor or planned parenthood, get as much information on medical risks, financial concerns and responsible parenting as possible. This is one situation where you cannot afford to be selfish.
