I am 30 and recently engaged. My fiance and I made the decision that it was ok for me to stop taking my birth control. I have been on it off and on since I was 18 years old. So tell me, how soon after did you get pregnant?

More info... I was on the Pill at first, but for the last 3 years I've been using the Nuvaring.

Women get the hormones out of their systems faster & slower than others.
It will depend on how long you've been on BC, the strength of the hormones, and when your body starts ovulating on it's own.
1-12+ cycles is about the norm. Again, every woman is different.

Of course, I'm sure you know everyone is different but just some info. about my sister and I conceiving...We did right away. I was on the pill for a while and then began getting the shot. Well, that made me really sick. So, I did not get it when it was due and I was pregnant that month. Same for my sister, She has been on the pill for years and got off to get pregnant and she was pregnant within that month too. Right now I just got off pills again to try for my second child. My only problem is that I haven't gotten my period yet. They say after you have been on the pill for so long and you go off of it you may not have a period for up to 3 months. So now I'm trying to figure out am I ovulating at the same time I normally would if I count it from when I was suppose to start my period. Good luck! Hope it was helpful.

Ok I will give you the information that was passed on to me from my Dr. I went off the pill last October (05) after 11 years and still in December of 06 I am not pregnant. I feel it all depends on the person. It could take a month or a year. All you want to do is start charting your periods and ovulations so that when you do actually become pregnant you will know when. That is really why people say to wait a couple months before trying so your periods are normal.

I didn't get pregnant but my girlfriend got pregnant almost immediately after stopping the pill. She had been on it from being 18 and came off it at 29. I have other friends who took longer to get pregnant, it varies from person to person. Try taking folic acid for three months before trying to conceive, it makes it less likely for your child to have congenital defects. Good luck and have fun trying.

It varies wildly person to person. I went off the pill in July after being on it for 14 years (I'm 33). After 3 months I still hadn't gotten my period (and I wasn't pregnant) so I went to an OB-GYN doctor, who ran some tests and gave me medication to induce my period and to make me ovulate (2 different meds). I found out just last week that I'm pregnant!

Now everyone can cure infertility using this natural remedy http://pregnancyhelps.info
infertility can run in the family and one of the first things the doctor asks you when you go to a fertility clinic is your family history regarding cases of infertility or other reproductive issues.
If infertility is caused by genetic disorder then it's not unusual that one of the kids (your mom) doesn't have it and another does (your aunt).
two months of trying is still to early to be concerned about the fact that you might be infertile and it's also quite early to go to a fertility specialist. Go to a regular Obgyb to get a closer insight and see what ways there are are to improve your fertility rate.
Also remove alcohol, caffeine and cigarettes from your life because they might influence your chances too. Stress is also a risk factor when it comes to infertility.

I started on the Pill from age 19 to age 29, was on it until October, and had unprotected sex for the first time in January and got pregnant. Technically, 3 months, but we didn't try until then.

I did the same thinking that it would take a while. I stopped a few months before the wedding and ended up being 9 wks pregnant on my wedding day!! So, the answer for me was like Immediately!!!

One week. Yep, I'm serious. My children are 14 months apart...BE CAREFUL! If you are trying NOT to get pregnant before the wedding date, you need to SERIOUSLY consider using a condom or spermicide EVERY TIME. Trust me on this one.
