I have a very close friend who took birth control for three months and then stopped. A week later she had sex with her boyfriend without using protection and I was wondering if her stopping the birth control the week before increases or decreases her chances of becoming pregnant

I have endometriosis and am unable to get pregnant...I would prefer if everyone would stop saying you as if it were me. I am a married woman and I would bless the miracle if it was bestowed upon me

This is actually in response to your situation, rather than your friend's...
I am very sorry to learn of your Endo related infertility. However, I wanted to offer you a little hope. While Endo is indeed a leading cause of female infertility, there is no reason to assume that you can *never* have a child. The so-called best infertility docs in the country told me for years I'd never have a baby, and truthfully, I did suffer from infertility for over 6 yrs. However, that was due to insufficient treatment of the disease by other gynecologists. It is imperative that the disease be **effectively** treated during surgery in order to restore normal pelvic anatomy, lyse adhesions, and eradicate or at least reduce the inflammatory enzymes Endo lesions themselves produce by excising the implants out. Laser ablation, fulguration, cauterization, etc. are all commonly performed, but are *not* wholly effective. See www.centerforendo.com and www.endometriosistreatment.org for information on excision and why it is superior. If your Endo is effectively and meticulously removed, you should have a drastically improved chance at conceiving. In studies, after excision, even stage IV patients go on by 50% to succesfully conceive and carry to term. Believe me when I say hope is out there and it is possible. Good luck.

Once you are off the pill you can potentially become pregnant any time. Some estimates are that it takes an average of 2 months to regain your cycle but it can happen much earlier or later too.

Take yet another try. that's amazingly available which you're pregnant. sure, you will have gotton a faux adverse. even nonetheless you had technically ignored your era, it nevertheless would have been too early so which you may get a great bring about case you're pregnant. via fact it is been around each week considering you first examined, circulate forward and examine out back. despite if it continues to be adverse, circulate to the physician and function them do a blood attempt to envision for being pregnant. they're greater solid than a urine try. solid success.

Stopping it a week before increases the chances of her becoming pregnant relative to continuing to take it. Don't do this. Er, um, I mean tell your friend not to do this.

Hi there, it depends on what birth controll she was on and how fertile she and the guy is she is sleeping with. She should go see a gynocologist just for incase.

I would think decrease it. Those hormones can stick with some one for awhile. 3 month should not really make a difference though.
