how long does it take for birthcontrol to get out of your system after you quit taking it?

Question

i took birthcontrol for about two years and quit taking it about 8 months. I am trying to have a baby and we are having no luck. and i am beging to wonder if i can even have children

Answer 1

My doctor told me that the hormones in birth control are out of your system as soon as you stop taking it. It is then up to your natural hormones to cycle your body. It may take time to be regular IF you were regular before you went on the pill. You could be able to concieve anywhere from right away up to a year. If it takes longer than that, you might want to look into fertility. I think the average time it takes to concieve for an average healthy couple is 3-6 months. Just try to relax and get to know your cycle and know when you ovulate.

Answer 2

It can take up to a year to get pregnate after gettin off of birth control for all the hormones to exit your body you can ask a dr for advise or wait it out also stressing over it can make you not so fertile so relax and give it time in the mean while make love for fun and it will come

Answer 3

after first real period you have you can get pregnant...don't be stress (yet) because there can be many things which aren't so bad(I mean ireversebel,etc) like stress, not having sex in the right time(I don't want to offend you but there are many cases..)
good luck

ps...now seriously..after I sow all those answers I had to intervine.
I am a MD and I have a lot of experience in family planning...the next month you have your period you can get pregnant.I know cases that got pregnanat after years...without any medical problems...so good luck and if you had a compleet medical check and everithing look ok...just don't worry.

Answer 5

What kind of birth control were you on? I was on depo for 1 yr and 9 months....My last injection of depo was in August of 2004...And, I conceived this baby April of 2006....But, I had only been trying (and not activley trying) Since like February 2006...

Answer 6

See the Dr. Get his advise. However, they ussually advise trying for one year before getting medical intervention. I tried for 6 years before I got pregnant with and had 2 healthy children so don't give up. Trying is half the fun.

Answer 8

from what my obgyn told me, it can take as little as a month for some oral contraceptives, but for the depo shot, it can take as much as a year. he wasnt sure about the effects of nuvaring, or the patches, so i guess it varies by the birth control.

Answer 9

Generally (There are many exceptions) it can take a year + for your body to get back on track.

Answer 10

it would take a month up to years
