How long were you all off the pill before you conceived? I was told it could take up to a year before I become pregnant. Our goal is to conceive around August, but if before its fine. I just got off the pill last month.

Hi!I was also told that it could take 6 months- 1 yr after getting off the pill. I took my last pill, had my period and then was pregnant PRONTO! (within approx. 2-3 weeks) I was really not prepared for it to happen that fast! I was in shock, but it is a blessing! I was about 3-4 weeks prego before it showed up on an HPT. I had other symptoms, so I just knew...call it instict! I must have taken 10 tests though! lol Good luck!

Well that is comforting news to hear. I have been off the pill for a month and i was too worried about it taking really long. You just gave the hope that hopefully it will happen sooner than later. I haven't gotten period yet and i am suppose to by tomorrow. I have taken two tests already and they were both neg., however i do have lots of preg symptoms but don't want to get my hopes up either.

Hi,
Well, last yr in july (the 23rd) i had an abortion (because she had downsyndrom and a heart defect). I went on the pill and in sept. (the first day of my period was the 20th-sorry for the TMI), me and my H had an arguement and i went to my g/f house and in the process of moving i lost my birth control. I was still hooking up with him. then like 4 days later i found them and for some reason somehting told me not to start them again so i didnt and thank god i didnt....and now im due june 27th with a healthy baby girl again :)

so it only took me like a wk, being off the pill. But the first time being off the pills it took me 7 mths.
