if u dont realise you're pregnant and continue to take the combined pill whilst pregnant can it harm the baby ?

How long does it take to get pregant after taking the pill for (12) years!


To Marie - August 15th, 2005 4:23 PM

Everyone is different. It could take as long as a year but it could only take a couple of months. Check with your doctor before trying to get pregnant, and start pre-natal care early! Good Luck!

HERE IS MY QUESTION I WAS ON THE PATCH AND MY BOYFRIEND GOT OFF IN ME CAN I BE PREGANT


Barbara - August 20th, 2005 2:02 PM

I just stopped taking the pill the first week of July 2005 after being on it for 8 years. My husband and I did this because we heard from my OB that it could take several months until I can get pregnant and we were hoping to be pregnant by Christmas or mid-winter. But- I just found out two days and two tests ago that I am about 4-5 weeks pregnant and it is only August 20th. It just depends on the person's body. I also read that studies show that getting pregnant soon after stopping the pill has no increased chances of miscarrige or birth defects, in fact, they found that it slightly reduces these chances.

I went off the pill for a week after my period to start my BC on Sunday, so I went off for a week but had intercourse, is it possible in that time spand to get pregnant?

I have been on birth control for about six months, I stopped a month ago, and have been trying right away. It has been a month, I have not seen my period, and I took two tests they both say negative. Do you think I will be come pregnant soon. I am only 23 . Please help.

I have been on the pill for five years and stopped early July 2005. Since then I have not had a period (I am now 59 days late), my hpt have come up negative and a bHCG test detected 0,1mlU/mL in my blood. Has anyone else been so late with their period? Any advice?

Jennifer - September 6th, 2005 4:07 PM

I was on the pill for 6 years. I went off in May and just found out that I am pregnant and it is September. It only took me a few months!


Emma - September 13th, 2005 6:15 AM

I recently got off the pill in late July and am trying to conceive. I have had 2 periods since then. Is a period proof that you ovulated that month?


To Sandi - September 13th, 2005 9:11 AM

A baby is a beautiful life and I think God just meant for it to be here if you got pregnant while on the pill. If you don't keep the baby, you might have regrets later. I am pregnant now, and I can NOT imagine trying to decide if I want it or not! It is a part of my body and a part of me! What a precious gift! Good Luck!
