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!!!

Re: birth control and preganancy
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.

Re: birth control and preganancy
I stopped right after the wedding but we took other precautions. But when we did try, the longest it took was 2 months

Re: birth control and preganancy
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.

Re: birth control and preganancy
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!!!
