1st month off pill and Pregnant

I just went off the pill last month after deciding with my husband to try for a baby. I know it is not rec. to try the first month, but now I am pregnant. I am very happy, but scared at the same time. Any advice or senarios that were similar? Is it really a high risk for miscarriage?

Hi,

with my first child, I got pg the first month off the pill....that's been almost five years ago and I had no problems with my pg,and my child is perfectly fine, and advanced for her age! Don't worry about it, I don't think that getting pg that first month increases your risk for miscarriage or any other complications. If you're really concerned, then go ahead and discuss it with your dr.

CONGRATULATIONS on your pg...too bad it can't be that easy for everyone!

My dr. told me that I could start trying to get pg the day after I went off the patch, two months later and I'm pregnant. I do not think it is a high risk for miscarraige, my dr. would have told me to wait if he thought so.

Relax, enjoy and CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!
