What are people's experiences of conceiving after coming off birth control pill?

Question

i have been on the combined pill for over 3 years and then went onto the mini pill cerazette for just over 2 months. I stopped taking any birth control from the 1st august. Are they many people out there who conceived in their first month coming off the pill? Is there any way of knowing when it is most likely i ovulated after coming off? or will it vary a lot person to person? I'm just curious to know about other people's experiences on conceiving after coming off the contraceptive pill. thank you!

Answer 1

I got pregnant the first month off of the pill with my first son.  

The second month off with my second son.

And was still on the minipill when I got pregnant with my third. (surprise!) :)

Answer 2

i was on the pill for 9 months and i stop and two months later i was preggo had a misscargie at 6 weeks just happened last thurs

Answer 3

I got pregnant the month I went off BC as well. The only way to know if you are indeed ovulating is using ovulation predictor strips (can buy them in a drugstore beside all the pregnancy tests) or you can chart your temperatures. I use fertilityfriend.com. It takes the guesswork out of it all.

Good luck!

Answer 4

I conceived immediately after stopping birth control both times.  The third time, I conceived while still using birth control.  lol

Answer 5

After I stopped taking BC, I got my period two weeks later. We conceived two weeks after that. I stopped taking BC in mid-May as we are TTC #2 but no luck yet.  

Answer 6

I took the combined pill and actually became more fertile the cycle after coming off it. We got pregnant the first month off. It will vary person to person, depending on the circumstances. Some women will be more fertile the month after, and some it will take several months before becoming pregnant.  

Answer 7

With my 1st child it took 8 months to conceive after stopping the pill.  I had been on it for 18 years.

With my 2nd child it took, well, I think about 8 minutes after stopping the pill!  I had only been back on it for about 3 months when I discontinued it to try and get pregnant again.

Sometimes it takes a while for your system to get back on track.  Good luck and keep trying!
