If you plan to have a baby, how soon after stopping the birth control pill can you conceive?
One of the advantages of the birth control pill is that it's quickly reversible. After you stop taking the pill, you may have only a two-week delay before you ovulate again. Your period would follow about four to six weeks after you take the last pill.
Once ovulation resumes, you can become pregnant. If this happens during your first cycle off the pill, you may not have a period at all. However, although possible, this scenario isn't likely. You have only a one in five chance of becoming pregnant during your first cycle trying to conceive.
Is there an advantage to waiting a few months after stopping the pill before trying to conceive?
For the purpose of dating the pregnancy — estimating when you ovulated and your due date — it may be somewhat advantageous to have at least one normal period before conceiving.
In the past, doctors had concerns that if you conceived immediately after stopping the pill, you had a higher risk of miscarriage. However, these concerns have proved to be largely unfounded.
If you plan to wait a few months, use a backup form of birth control while your menstrual cycles get back to normal.

My first period after birth was just the same. I was actually concerned it may have been a miscarriage as well. It lasted about a week and a half and it was like uncontrollable bleeding! I could barely go out of the house because I was so worried that I might have a mess. I asked my doctor and she told me that it was completely normal for your period to be very irregular after birth. Now (5 months later) my period is just about back to normal, although my cramps are much worse than pre-pregnancy. Also, I was having lots of clots as well. They say any clots as big or bigger than the size of a golf ball is no good. So if you're having very big clots then I would suggest seeing your doctor, other than that you should be fine. If it continues for longer than a week and a half then see your doctor. Good Luck!

Think about it. If you miss one single dose while you're on the pill, they tell you to take another pill asap. If you miss two doses, you need to have your partner use a condom. The pill's half-life is very short, so if you miss a dose, it's easy to become pregnant. That's why they say to take your pill at the same time every day.

I've known people who were off they pill two weeks and got prego. I'd listen to your doctor. I don't have any herbal remedies, but did you talk to your doctor and make sure there wasn't another cause.

Do listen to your doctor, they are trained. If you have been on the pill you need time for your system to get back to normal .*-*
