Can I Get Pregnant After Being On Birth Control For So Long Posted: 05-30-05 11:05am
I recently got off my neuvoring 3 weeks
ago. I have been on birth control since I
was 16 and i'm now 32 for irregual
periods. Even on birth control my periods
are only 2 days at most and light. At one
point a few years ago I didn't have a
period for 9 months and had to have
provera to make me have a cycle, so my
cycles are not normal. I wanted to get
off my birth control to see if i'm capable
of having a period on my own but my
boyfriend and I had sex during my period
in which I had just came off my ring and
he came in me. We also had sex 15 days
after that in which I never started my
neuvoring back. What are the chances of
me becoming pregnant since i've been on
birth control for so long this quick?

A friend of mine on another forum was on
bc for like 10 years and she got pregnant
the month after she came off of it.
There is chance you can be preggy
especially since you had sex about 15 days
after your period which is when women
usually ovulate. Wait and see, that's
all I can say. I know you're periods are
irregular but if you have no period for a
month or so, take a preg test, is it comes
out neg, go to a docs' and get a blood
test done. Good luck!

hi i'm jamie.....I started birth control
at age 16 and stopped last summer (age
27)....(11 years). And a month later I
was pregnant....And a month ago I gave
birth to a beautiful baby boy, nicolas.
Your chances are still there. Don't
believe that it's "hard" after being on
birth control for so long. Look at it
this way if it's hard to believe....Woman
get pregnant while **on** it...So you can
when you come off. Use protection
always, there is no way to not except
abstinence! Hope that
helped!
lol I was talking about you!!!

Ok, now i'm really paranoid. I have
active kidney stones in both kidney's in
which have not passed in 6months. I was
diagnosed with them back in january. So
my doctor did an ivp test on me this past
friday. It is a scan of xrays, etc, with
dye contrast. I am now worried about the
time we were together when I was on my
period more than the most recent during my
ovulation time of this weekend since that
was after the xray.
Should I be worried? Maybe I need to
contact my doctor

Wouldn't a test be too early right now.
It's only been 17 days from the first time
and 1 day from the most recent?
I have not taken one and will do that
today.

Well, talked to my doctor and they said
they are not so worried about the time
during my menstrual cycle. But yesterday
is another story. My boyfriend and I will
just have to wait and see. Thanks for all
the help.

Hi there! I have known of ladies that
have been on b/c for almost 20 yrs.
Sometimes things do not happen overnight
and sometimes they do, I have also known
of women getting pregnant during menopause
and that is pretty much always a shocker,
if it is meant to be, it will happen.
Have you ever thought about adoption,
their are alot of good babies and children
out their that need a good home and
love.
Good luck to you!
Sincerely,
sandy

would be our first time trying, but thank
you.
