I have been on the pill for about 3 years.
I decide to stop taking the pill for this
month. My husband and I have been having
unprotected sex. Does this mean there is
a good chance of me being pregnant? I
heard that it is impossible to get
pregnant if had used the pill for a long
time. Is this information correct?

It is very possible to get pregnant after
being on the pill for many years. There
are women who have been on it for 10+
years, and they have been able to have
children after stopping it.
It may take a few months for your period
to get "adjusted" again though. Some
women have their period right on time
after stopping the pill, others may take a
few months to get regular again.
So, yes it is possible for you to get
pregnant--when (and if) you get pregnant
is up to your body!

Yes! Posted: 10-27-03 20:45pm
Ofcourse you can get pregnant, as soon as
your body is finished re-adjusting. It
could even be in the first month after
stopping. The pill only works as long as
you are taking it. It's not permanent.
Good luck!!

Actually, as soon as you get off birth
control you are more likely to get
pregnant! Some of the women on here have
been on birth control for years, and as
soon as they quit they were pregnant. If
you want to be I hope you are. No
worries! Good luck! :d
