once my perscription is up I want to try for our first child and want to know how long it will take for the birthcontrol to work out of my system.

I've been off for almost 4 months and nada. Then again, I haven't been checking BBT or anything either. I've heard up to 6 months, and I'd be willing to wager the first 3 months I was not regulated. I'm just now getting back to the extremity of my natural hormone-related symptoms, and my clockwork schedule got a little wacked last month.
Still, my gynecologist told me there's no reason that you wouldn't be fertile immediately. His logic: why would you have to take a pill every day if the effects stayed in your system?
At the same time, I think if the body becomes dependent on the artificial cycles, then it might take a while to actually take over again, thus impeding fertility temporarily perhaps.
So my advice is to allow a window of 0-6 months in which pregnancy would be feasible given other life conditions. No way of knowing how YOUR body will respond until you let it!

The average is about three months, to be sure ALL the chemicals and hormones are gone. But that can vary, depending on how long you have been using the patches. If it's been several years, it may take longer. Check with your doctor on this one.
Good luck!

Sometimes when you go off of them you can get pregnant right away. They say to let your system go through three cycles (periods) before you should try but if you are really excited and don't want to wait try the next month you go off. Good luck and best wishes...

girl, nothing is 100% effective, some women get pregnant while on the patch still. I wouldn't risk it. A baby is an awesome experience, but even more so if you're ready for that kind of responsibility

I'm not a doctor or anything but I have been told by a doctor that it can take up to a year. Good Luck, my husband and I have been trying for about 3 years now and still no luck.

My sisters (all 6 of them) all waited 5-6 months AFTER getting off of them before getting pregnant. This way their child had a "more successful" chance of a full nine month's.

They say a month, but those are rough guidelines, since no girly is the same. Could be sooner or much later. A month is the time it generally takes for your body to go through it's cycle though.

There is a chance you can get pregnant as early as the first day you get off the pills. That is why it is strongly advised to take pills regularly, and not to miss even a single day, and to take two pills the following day if you missed a day.

I think about one month. You can get pregnant the following month. After stopping your birth control the next egg you produce can be fertilized.
