I know everyone is different but I'm growing impatient! Just wondering what your experiences were. So, after stopping your last pack of bc pills, how long until you ovulated? How long did it take you to get pregnant?

What can I do next?

With my first, I stopped taking the pill in mid-June (after 15 years, non-stop), had one period and was pregnant by the beginning of August. With my second, I stopped in early June (after 11 months), again had one period and was pregnant by the end of July.

I am not exactly sure how I would know because I could ovulate but not get pregnant, ya know? With number three I went off in June and tried and got pregnant in August. With number four I went off in April but we didn't try to get pregnant until August and got pregnant in August. So who knows....

Before number three I was on them for eight years, number four a year ish.

I had an IUD for 6 years & just had it removed in November. We ended up pregnant within the first 2 months. So it really depends on your body. After my first son it took me 9 years to have another child. Good luck & don't stop trying.

I was on BC pills for 18 years, got pregnant the first month I was off of them. That ended in an early miscarriage, however. But got pregant again within two months the next time. I was 40.

My 26 year-old stepdaughter took a year and a 1/2 to get pregnant after going off the pill, however. We are all different.

I got off the pill 2 months before we started trying. We tried for a week straight in Rome (march) and in April I found out I was pregnant. I'm about to start trying again so I will do the same thing.
