How long did it take you to get pregnant after using the pill?

Question

My husband and I are going to start trying to conceive in the next few months. I've been on the pill for a few years now, and I was wondering how long it has taken others to get pregnant after coming off the pill? Also, are the hormones from the pill still in your body for a while after you stop taking it? Thanks!

Answer 1

I got pregnant the first month I was off the pill. I had been on it for about 5 years. My sister had been on the pill about that long and it took her about 5 months to conceive. I don't know how long the hormones stay in your body, but they are hormones that are naturally in the female body. Its just the levels that are affected. I think it takes longer for some people to start ovulating, but not for everyone. Good luck.

Answer 2

No. Since you can get pregnant if you miss more than 2 pills in a cycle, you certainly won't have residual hormones in your system months later.

But the pill can mask any irregularities you might naturally have in your cycle. For example, on the pill, you always have a perfect 28-day cycle. But on your own, you might not be regular. You might not get a period every month. It might be a 30-day or a 26-day cycle. You know? You might have endometriosis or some other hormonal imbalance, and it can take a couple of months to get it all figured out.

That said, I took the pill for 12 years before my first pregnancy. And I conceived my first month off it. Then I breastfed for a little over a year (while taking minipills). I switched back to regular pills, then quit, and was pregnant again within a month of quitting.

Answer 3

I have been given pregnant approximately 3 weeks after i finished taking the pill. i exchange into on Yasmin. and that i exchange into skipping the sugar pills and basically giving myself a era basically thrice a 300 and sixty 5 days. i finished simply by fact i began feeling extraordinary on it and had to get a era. So, quite of having that era I have been given a son! each lady is distinctive nevertheless. each so often taking the delivery administration pill on the brink of once you have chose to conceive could reason compllications and what they call a "chemical abortion". The hormones on your physique can result the being pregnant, yet not in all females. i could bypass see your OB approximately it and he/she ought to be waiting to grant you selections to the delivery administration pill in case you have chose it planned. stable success nevertheless!!!

Answer 4

It's differnt for everyone - I had been on the pill for (I HATE to admit this) ... for 17 years and the doctor told me I should try to have 3 regular periods before trying to conceive. We started ttc this month and I don't thinkk it was successful - too early to tell for sure now but I am questioning whether I calculated my ovulation date correctly.

Hope this helps.

Answer 5

I am on my second month with no bc and I think I might be pg. So I think it varries for everyone. I would stop taking the bc about two months before you want to start trying so you can see what your cycles are going to be like.
