How long after BC?

Bebuh

I've heard it can take time to regulate after taking BCP for so long, and I've also heard they can actually increase your fertility and increase your chances getting KU in the first month off. So my question to you ladies is, how long after BCP did it take you???

I conceived DD while still attempting to take birth control and switching brands/types. Then after I had her I never went back on hormonal birth control. We did condoms until we decided to TTC this baby in August.

I got pregnant my second cycle off of BCP. I was on the pill for over 10 years.

6 months. The first two months I wasn't temping, though, and I'm pretty sure we had craptastic timing.

Seven months after getting off bc.  For the first few months I only had a cycle every other month, then twice in one month, so pregnancy was a bit of a suprise.  There is some debate as to conception, because I am certain I had my cycle the firs

I haven't been on BC since before I was pregnant with DS, but with that pregnancy it only took a couple of cycles after going off to get pregnant.  This really varies for each person.  Good luck!

Finished my last pack in November, started TTC (charting/temping/CM) in January and got KU in March.

I was on the NuvaRing before my DD - it took 16 months of TTC (actively temping, using OPK's, etc.) before I was able to achieve a viable pregnancy.

With this baby I was on Mirena beforehand, and had it out January 22nd. We did not plan to "try

When i stopped hormonal bc my cycle was immediately regular, but i wasn't charting at that time, so i'm not sure whether i was ovulating right away.

With my daughter it took two months after stopping the pill, but I think the first month was bad timing.  With this pregnancy, I had Mirena removed at the end of January, didn't actively start trying till AF returned per doctor's recommendation (it t

This was my 8th cycle off of BC. However, we weren't TTC for the past 4 months

I had been on the pill for almost 10 years, I ended up conceiving only 2 months after stopping. I was surprised it happened so fast but I'm so excited with what is to come since this is my first pregnancy.

Stopped my last pack of BCP the beginning of February and started temping, charting, using OPK's & checking CM mid February got my BFP this month.

My husband was away for 2 months last summer and I knew we were going to start TTC so I stopped taking the pill in July. We got pregnant on the first cycle that we were together again at the end of September. I think you are more furtile after BC!

I got pregnant immediately after going off NuvaRing. I miscarried 12 weeks later, but we were shocked at how quickly I got pregnant. I had two cycles since my miscarriage and now I'm pregnant again.

I think it really helped me with fertility.  I got pregnant on cycle 2. I was on it for a year.

I was on BCP for ten years. I stopped in June and never got my period for eight months, so had to take Provera to induce my period. It must have helped. A month and a half later, I got my BFP!! It can vary from person to person. Good luck.

8 months for us.  My body def had trouble regulating coming off the pill, I only had 4 cycles in that 8 months, & wasn't ovulating at first either.  My OB thought I might have PCOS but thankfully I got KU before seeing the RE to confirm t

I got pregnant while taking the Seasonique BCP. surprise for us! Lol!

Dreamingmommy4

I was on BCP for 4 years before we decided it was time to TTC. I stopped taking it Feb. 2012. I seemed to regulate relatively quickly with only one or two long cycles after but not too bad. We didn't get pregnant until March 2013. That was with some cycle

I was on teh BC for at least 9-10 years when we decided to have DS.  I was PG by the 2nd cycle & I'm thinking it only took that long because we didn't have good timeing with our intimate nights the first couple weeks.  This time around, I wa
