Pregnant....how Soon After Stopping the Pill???
Posted: 11-29-05 17:14pm

Hi everyone!

Wondering if any of you out there have concieved failry quickly after stopping the pill. I have been on the pill off and on for 8 years. The last pill I took was nov. 12...Started my period the next day. My husband and I had sex last night (11/29)...Apparently my fertile time. But, I think because I have only been off the pill for a few weeks, that it is unlikely I would be pregnant so soon. Anyone have a "after pill" pregnancy story to tell. I would love to hear from you!

I have asked my doc about this.. I have been on bc pills for about 5 years now. He told me that it can take 1-3 months for your body to actually start ovulating again from stopping bc. It all depends on the womans body. Could happen even sooner! Good luck!

This is my 12th month off the pill and we're still ttc. My doc said give your body 10-12 months before all effects from the pill are out of your body. But in saying that it took my friend 3 months!

It depends on your body, cuz I got pregnant on the pill and I got pregnant two months after coming off it. So good luck and have fun trying

About Me And the Pill

Nope never missed one. I started on them at 11 and never missed one. I had to take them cuz I was soo irregular when I started my period. I was having 3 very very heavy periods a month.

Omg! I cannot believe that you never missed a pill and still got pregnant! I guess you are that 1%. I missed 4 pills in a row last month and freaked out a bit..But got my period. Did you have your baby or are you preg now?

Actually, I was not going to ask your age...But thanks anyways! I appreciate the info you have shared with me. I am new to this site but am addicted to it now. I am always searching on it like I am going to find an answer! It is just nice to hear others stories to see if you can relate.

Liz

p.S. Now I have to wait a couple of weeks for my period! Takes forever!
