I was on the pill for six years. My mother has fertility issues so i thought that i might as well. My husband and i were only married 6 months before I went off of the pill. I went off in April and got pregnant in June. I was pretty shocked! The second time I thought that there was no way we would get pregnant so quickly so we started trying when our daughter was 15 months old. Same scenario, except I went off the pill a few months earlier due to migraines. We started trying in April and got pregnant again in June. You just never know until you try!

Yes!! I got pregnant the very next cycle after going off the pill. We weren't even trying either haha. It will really help if you chart your cycles (bbt, cervix position etc.). It's really easy and will increase your chances!

Which time. I stopped my pills two times and both time got pregnant with in a few months the first time i stopped in June and was pregnant in august the second time i stopped them in October and was pregnant in January. Now i have a 4 year old and an 11 month old. Both boys. I had been on the pill in one form or another since i was 14 as i have ovarian cyst and I am now 27.

The first time I was on the pill, I got pregnant within 2 weeks of getting off. The second time I was on the pill, I got pregnant while I was still on the pill... Good Luck!

Ashley - posted on 08/13/2010

well it could be right after you stop to up to a couple of years....Just all depends if you continue to ovulate and have your cycle like normal. My family is extremely fertile and I got pregnant two weeks after stopping my pills but I don't have normal cycles..Good luck!! sorry I couldn't be of much assistance

I stopped the pill December 2007 and was pregnant January 2008

Kylie - posted on 08/13/2010

each time ive tried to get pregnant and stopped taking the pill, ive been pregnant within a month....thats 3 times now!! ive got 2 boys and im currently pregnant with a little girl, so excited!!
however, it really depends on the person, ive got friends who have tried for years after getting off the pill.
I wish you the best of luck!! the important thing is not to stress too much :)

This makes me laugh..this is exactly what happened to me :) I had decided to go off my birth control I had been off for about a few days or week and I was going to talk to the doctor about getting on a new kind because it was making sick. Next thing I know Im pregnant, now Im 18 weeks along. Good luck to you both. I think it may depend on the pill and the person.

Christina - posted on 08/13/2010

I got pregnant two weeks after I stopped taking the pill. I was on the pill for 8 years! Good luck :0)

When I went off birth-control I conceived that month. Unfortunately, it was an eptopic pregnancy and ended miscarrying.

Deirdre - posted on 08/13/2010

I used to work in an OB clinic and they probably tell you it could take a year because that is the timeframe that you can be trying without the doctors thinking something is not working right fertility wise. You only have about a 20% chance of becoming pregnant every month that you try so they say the "typical" amount of time it takes women under 30 or 35 to concieve is about 6 months. That being said, with my first and second I became pregnant 6 weeks after stopping birth control! Good luck and I hope it happens quickly for you!

Melanie - posted on 08/13/2010

I stoped my birth control..the patch...and i was prego the end of that month. With my daughter i got prego on the pill

Brandee - posted on 08/13/2010

It took me a few months! I stopped taking the pill aug 2009 and got pregnant in may 2010. But with our first baby it took a couple weeks after I got off the pill.

Heidi - posted on 08/13/2010

I had been on the pill for 6 years and when fiance and I decided to get pregnant I went off and 2 weeks later I was pregnant....good luck:)

Heather - posted on 08/13/2010

I was on the pill for 5 years and after my hubby and I got married I stopped taking it and less than a month later I got pregnant. That was in 2007. After I had my daughter in 2008, I went back on the pill until Sept of 2009. We were trying for our 2nd child and it took us 6months and we got pregnant in March of 2010!! My due date is early Dec and we thought it wouldnt take near as long but I did chart my temps and use the OPKs the 2nd time. Sometimes I think people put to much into having a baby. That is what my hubby said about my taking my temp each morning, but it worked for us!!

My sister tried for 11months and got pregnant on her 12th month after birth control. She is due in early Jan 2011!!! Good Luck!!

i was still on it with both my first and second

Aura - posted on 08/13/2010

It took me and my husband a month and a half. I had also read that it was supposed to a year before getting pregnant. What a bunch of hooey, lol. Maybe I'm just really fertile? LOL.

Liz - posted on 08/13/2010

I have a set of two year old b/g twins and got on the pill after them. But come to find out some how we conceived our youngest son, who turned a month yesterday, while I was still on the pill. I talked to my dr about this, because I plan on going on the IUD this time, and he said it's different for everyone. He said he knew a person who was on the pill for ten years and then they got pregnant a month after they got off the pill.

Rachel - posted on 08/13/2010

I stopped my BC the beginning of Aug 09 and was prego at the end of Aug 09. I was on the pill for about 9 years up until that point. Hope this helps and best wishes.

Emma - posted on 08/13/2010

yes i was on the pill for 2 years and came off it and got pregnant withihn 2 months and had non identical twins! lol!

Maddison - posted on 08/13/2010

My doctor told me it takes roughly 3 months for your cycle and hormones to get back to normal aftertaking the pill. Although everyone is different my husband and I got pregnant the 1st time we tried after being on the pill for many years. We just decided to start trying again and I have been off birth control now for 3 months and still not pregnant so its different everytime.

Lynne - posted on 08/13/2010

Hey there, i come off mine and took 5 months for me to get pregnant! Sure it will happen for you soon enough xx

Samantha - posted on 08/13/2010

i got off the pill and had a positve pregnancy test 3 weeks later. but i think i had been pregnant about 2 weeks after i just waited 1 more week before i used the stick, and about a month and a half after getting off the pill the doctor confirmed it.

Avril - posted on 08/12/2010

First time, yes, second time, no. First time I had just one period after going off the pill, second time took about 6 months.

Natasha - posted on 08/12/2010

I got really sick on the pill so i tried switching to a different brand. I fell pregnant during the switch. I didn't know i was pregnant and thought the new pill was also making me sick so i went off it right away. I miscarried when i was about 4 weeks along. I hadn't known i was pregnant until i lost it. Then 2 weeks later i was pregnant again and had my gorgeous son. After he was born i went back on the pill but it made me really sick again so after 2 months i went off it and decided not to use any contraception. It took me 10 months to fall pregnant again (i didn't breast feed) but i miscarried again and then another 3 months and i was pregnant again. Now i am 10 weeks along and hoping everything goes well this time. Every person is different. the pill really messed with my cycle and made my periods very irregular. I only had 4 in that 10 months it took to fall pregnant after my son was born. I hope it works nice and fast for you :)

Kimberly - posted on 08/12/2010

Well for me it took about 6 months of being off of my pill...but everyone is different! I have a friend who basically got pregnant the month she stopped her pill!!! I thought she was joking when she told me. I guess it just depends on the person, so if this is what you want just be patient and it will happen in its own time! GOOD LUCK!!

Bobbi - posted on 08/12/2010

I stopped taking the pill in march and on found our we were pregnant in april. Mine was less than a month and i got pregnant again.

Colleen - posted on 08/12/2010

I would say it all depends on your body. I was on the pill for almost 10 years, and when we decided to try for baby #2 around my sons first birthday, I went off the pill middle of August and conceived our daughter September 9th.So good luck!

Lisa - posted on 08/12/2010

I missed one pill and got pregnant, but it may be something in my family. My sister stopped taking the pill two weeks before her wedding this past May, and is now expecting in February. Good Luck!

Melanie - posted on 08/12/2010

well i was only on it since january. it was right after brookes first year appointment i got the prescription from the dr. it was mostly because we werent ready at the time and i figured it would be the best to go on it and then we would have our 2nd when we were completly ready. if i had known then that it could take that long i wouldnt of even bothered. Ive only been on it for 6 months so hopefully it doesent take too long. like everyone sais it depends on the person i guess. but ive heard alot of positive things so far so it makes me feel alot better :) thanks guys

Erika - posted on 08/12/2010

Went of the pill (was on it for 7 years) and got pregnant with our son about 2 months later. Good luck :)

Megan - posted on 08/12/2010

I was on the pill for 6 or 7 years when we decided to try for a baby. My parents tried for 7 years to have a baby before they finally got pregnant so we were concerned it would take us a while. I stopped the pill November 18, 2007, had a period and found out we were pregnant December 23, 2007.
I have heard that it can take a while to conceive the second time. I hope it doesn't for us when we decide to try for baby number 2.

Sandra - posted on 08/12/2010

i stopped taking the pill and i caught within a month later and now have a six month baby and love him to bits

Amy - posted on 08/12/2010

Before I had my first I was on the pill for several years, missing only one pill and only taking 1 or 2 "late". I was obsessive over when to take them. It took us the 3rd cycle of trying to become pregnant. If you've only been on it a year you might get pregnant sooner (I know some who do).

I was on the mini-pill after having my first, and we got pregnant as soon as I stopped taking it.

With hormones sometimes it stays in your body for up to 3 cycles/months, but it depends on how long you've been on it, how you've taken it, and your body.

Alecia - posted on 08/12/2010

took 2 weeks. pills (the ones u get ur period every mnth) stop working as soon as u stop taking em. the depo shot can take up to a yr to regain ur fertility. might be the same with pills that dnt give u r period every mnth, but idk cuz ive never taken em

Pamela - posted on 08/12/2010

I went off the pill in July of 2008 and I got pregnant sept of 2008, I did have a misscarage in Nov:( but then I got pregnant again in Feb of 2009. So I got pregnant twice in 6 months after going off of the pill that I had been on for 8 years. Just try not to stess about it.

Tammy - posted on 08/12/2010

I was on the pill for 6 years when my husband and I decided to try for a baby, we got pregnant the first month of trying. I have been on the pill again since my son was born, now 13 months, and I dont predict it will take too long this time either!

Joanita - posted on 08/12/2010

My luck, didn't go off the pill and fell pregnant again! Anyway with my first it took us ten months after i went off the pill to fall pregnant again.

Stephanie - posted on 08/12/2010

Becky - posted on 08/11/2010

I was on the pill for 12 years and stopped taking it 9mths before we started trying for a baby.
I thought it might not happen straight away and started trying a month early. However, I fell pregnant on the first attempt which meant our daughter was born 7 days before I was due to sit my university exam and not a month after my exam like I had planned. I was 26.
Even if I hadn't stopped my pill 9mths before I think I wld have fallen pregnant strraight away. I guess it depends on the individual.

Melanie - posted on 08/11/2010

thank god! brooke is already 18 months old so i was kind of hoping that they would be close in age. if i were to get pregnant right away brooke would be a little over 2 almost 2 1/2 before i have the next one. When i read that it could take up to a year i was worried...i dont want brooke to be over 3 before she gets a sibling! i would of started sooner but its only now my fiance agreed its time for another! oh well i guess we will just have to try and try and hope for the best! hopefully it will happen right away :)

Katie - posted on 08/11/2010

I was on the pill for years and was off of it for barely 2 weeks and got pregnant with my first son. The same thing happened to my sister in law!! Don't trust them when they say it takes years everyone I know, no matter how long they were on it it only took a couple of weeks

Kristen - posted on 08/11/2010

I stopped taking them the last week of October 2009, (was on them since I was 17) TTC for five months, got pregnant April 2010. Good Luck to you.

I stopped taking my pills in September 2008 in November 2008 I was pregnant with my daughter :)

Lisa - posted on 08/11/2010

I have never been on the pill, but a relative of mine recently got pregnant after being on the pill for years. When they finally decided to try for a baby she went off the pill (thinking that it would take her about a year as well) and was pregnant the next month! Really depends on the person though, cuz it took me 5 months this time and like i said i've never been on birth control. Good luck to you i know how much it sucks when its taking a long time!
