birth control and preganancy

Hi everyone!

DH and I are going to TTC in a few months. I have been on the pill for 3 years and was wondering if anybody got pregnant right away after stopping. I heard that it could take up to 6 months but I also heard other people that got pregnant quick.

TIA for sharing your experience!!!

I've heard that you are more fertile when you first come off the pill. I've also heard that some people take a few months to get back to normal.

I stopped right after the wedding but we took other precautions. But when we did try, the longest it took was 2 months

Then the other question is...when is SAFE to start TTC when off the pill? I hear some say wait 2-3 months - let your body clean out.

I also heard that there should be a "waiting period" after stopping the pill and TTC. Is that true???

Re: birth control and preganancy

I was off the pill for a week and got pg. I didn't fill out my prescription on time and I didn't want to start a new pack in the middle of the week, so I just waited til the next Sunday to start. Well I got pg the Wed after I started the new pack.

It wasn't until I finished that whole pack, didn't get my period, and started a new one before I thought something was up. I tested on a Monday and got a BFP.

My Dr said I could start trying right away after going off the pill (needless to say it didn't work for me)

Re: birth control and preganancy

You don't really need to wait... I think the only reason why Dr.'s tell you to wait is to get a normal cycle going so you can more accurately date the pregnancy once you DO get pregnant. I have a good friend who got pregnant 2 weeks off the pill and I just held her 9 month old, beautiful, healthy, gorgeous boy yesterday! I went off the pill and got pregnant 2 months later... I've heard that your body is more fertile right after going off the pill

Re: birth control and preganancy

Wow..it seems like it could happen fast! I hope that my body cooperates and I get PG right away! We are going to Disney at the end of December so we are planning to start right after the trip or within that month. I am really excited!!! Wish me luck!!!
