I was on the pill for about 6 years. I went off in December and am still not pregnant. How long does it usually take? I have been getting my period and everything as scheduled, so I'm pretty sure I"m ovulating..

I went of the pill on Dec. 25 ...and today I got a Positive test. But I'm not sure if that's true though, cause usually my Luck isn't with me.
Just be pationt. there is a 25 percent chance of getting pregnant each cycle.
90 % of woman become pregnant withing one Year of trying. I think it is 50 % within 6 Months.
Best of Luck to you!!! And don't try the Confirm Clearly Pregnancy test. Go for the First response one for better accurecy!!!

When you go off of the pill, you can easily get pregnant as soon as your cycles regulate (which for me was immediately). However, if you went on the pill because you had issues with the regularity of your period or because you had painful periods (like I did), you may have endometriosis (like me) or another cause of infertility. Check out the list of causes of infertility at http://www.fertilitygal.com/causes-of-infertility.html to be sure that you don't fit into any of those molds and talk with your doctor if you are concerned that you might. FertilityGal offers a great free online ovulation calendar too and a free printable BBT chart. Good luck!

I went off the pill in December, too, and I'm still not pregnant. I've even been charting everything. Periods are normal and regular. I guess it's just a waiting game. My period is due tomorrow and I'm just praying that it doesn't come! Most couples take at least 6 months to conceive, though, so try not to worry yet.

I was on for about 6 years, too. It took me 3 months to get pregnant, but I knew when I was ovulating. You need to have sex around the time you ovulate to get pregnant which is usually a week or two after period. just have sex every other day starting a week after your period for a week or two and eventually it will work unless there is an underlying problem!

For some women it can take YEARS. I reccomend that you start charting your cycles. There's a great book "taking Charge of your Fertility" that will give you all the info you need to start charting effectivly so you can see when you ovulate and time sex accordingly. It works awesomely well if you are ovulating. We have 4 kids and we got them all on the 1st or 2nd try using our chart as a guide. Hope that helps!

I stopped taking birth control pills about 2.5 months befor I got pregnant with my 2nd child, and also I was takeing prenatal vitamins. The folic acid in them is crucial during pregnancy. Good luck! And relax, don't focus on getting pregnant, focus on the fun you have trying to get pregnant.

I got pregnant immediately after being on them for 7 years. You can miss 2 pills and get pregnant.

My doctor told me on monday to start taking PreNatal Vitamins after I went off the pill to build up the Folic Acid right away.
Good Luck!

Just because you are having a period does not mean you are ovulating. I would start taking BBT to see exactly when you are ovulating so you can time accordingly. Just type BBT in search engine and you will get a wealth of information.
GOOD LUCK

I got pregnant one month after stopping birth control pills at one time and the other time it took about 5 months.
