This depends on whether you stopped taking them cold turkey mid cycle, or whether you finished a packet of pills and then simply didn't start the next one.
If it's scenario 2 then this causes less disruption as it mimics your natural cycle more closely - you could easily ovulate as per normal during your next cycle, and fall pregnant pretty well straight away - within just a couple of weeks. If that does happen it will also be easier to judge when you will potentially ovulate and calculate your due date.
If you simply stopped cold turkey part way through a packet, your system may be a little more disrupted, as you will probably start a breakthrough bleed within a few days because of the sudden drop in the level or hormones, and this will throw you off kilter a bit. The sudden drop in hormones can also potentially trigger ovulation at the same time - it's harder to tell you're pregnant at first, and it will be harder to pin down your dates without an ultrasound.
On the other hand, even with both scenarios some women take a bit longer to start ovulating after stopping the pill. Some doctors suggest waiting for your first spontaneous period to come after stopping the pill before trying to become pregnant, and people think this is to ensure the hormones in the pill "stored up" in your body are "cleared away" but this in a myth, as the hormones are not stored in the body at all. The only reason to wait would be if you wanted to be able to more effectively track your dates.
In short - there is no definite answer - however what we usually recommend to patients is after 6 months of having regular intercourse you haven't become pregnant after stopping the pill it may well be worth a trip to the doctor to just confirm everything is ok. It most likely will be, but better to be sure.

that's probable attainable yet no longer likely. I neglected quite some pills interior the three years i grew to become into on them and took it as quickly as I remembered and that i in no way have been given pregnant. The pills are generally on your equipment for like a week or something. that's lots lots greater probable to get pregnant once you omit like 3 or 4 of them. i think of you'll be high-quality.

Well everyone is different. I quit my pills on January 7. Found out I was pregnant February 4th. I was very surprised. Everything I had read said that its unlikely to get pregnant the first month off bc.

I went off the pill in August after being on it 4 years and my periods still aren't back to normal.

If you don't have sex, it may take quite awhile. Actually, there is no real way to determine how long it will take.
