Pregnancy Info HOME

You can get pregnant immediately after stopping birth control! It all depends on your body and when it regulates itself. There is really no guarantee, and its hard to plan the exact moment of conception.

I was taking birth control for 9 years when we decided to conceive. I was off the pill for 1 month and ended up pregnant the next month. They prefer you to be off the pill for 2-3 months b4 actively trying to conceive though. I didn't want to wait and the dr said both baby and I are okay. she said the reason they want you to wait aout 2-3 months first is they want your cycle to regulate itself first. I never had a regular cycle so figured i better get the ball rolling early Good luck

i took birth control pills for 3 months and stopped it has been two monthes and i did not get pregnant.Does birh control pills cause infertility?

To Lina: Birth control does not cause infertility, but it will take your body time to adjust and get used to new hormone levels. It may even take you a few months before you begin to ovulate again. It takes a lot of people longer than 2 months who have never taken the pill before.

Every women is different I would say it might take up to a year. I was on the pill for 3 yrs and it took me 14 months to get pregnant.

it takes about 3-6 months! good luck trying!!

I have been off the pill for two months, and my period is all out of whack. I am having one every 2 weeks. Has this happened to anyone else? I know everyone is different, but does anyone know how long it takes for your body to adjust itself and start ovulating again?

I got off the pill about 8 months ago (was on it for 5 years) and I am still not pregnant. I wonder why its taken so long?

Debbie, If you have not gotten pregnant within the next 3 months, you might should see a doctor. Also, I have read that there is only a 20% chance of getting pregnant each month, so it could take you the next few months to conceive! Good Luck!

If you continue taking birth control pills after getting pregnant will this affect the baby

If you continue taking birth control after conception, it could cause birth defects or it could cause you to miscarry. If there is any chance that you might be pregnant, you need to stop the pill!

I'm on month three and still ttc

I had continued taking my pills after I got pregnant not knowing I was is this going to affect the baby do I need to terminite the pregnancy

No, you do not need to terminate the pregnancy. You need to talk to your OBGYN doctor about how long you continued the pill after finding out you were pregnant.

I took birth control for one year and then went off. It took me about one year to finally get pregnant

I was on the pill when I got pg. My Dr. told me I did not harm the baby all I did was double my harmones. I'm now 18 weeks and have a healthy pregnancy.
