Hi Kimberly! I myself got pregnant the first cycle off the pill. I don't have a great story to tell, though. Before I got pregnant with my DS (born 9/30/00) I had been on the pill for about 10 years. I went off it and we conceived my son in the 4th cycle of ttc. I went back on the pill when my son was 6 weeks old (low dose kind because I was nursing) and continued it until the end of May 2003. I went off thinking it would take us a while to conceive becuase I am 35 and I am on medication for hypothyroidism. Well, I didn't have to worry. We weren't even trying really and I got pregnant. Unfortunately that pregnancy ended in a m/c at 11.5 weeks in August. I do worry that going off the pill and getting pregnant so soon could have caused the m/c. I know that there are many women, though, that get pregnant that first month and go on to deliver perfectly healthy babies. I just got my first AF after my d&e and now I'm ready to try again.

Good luck to you.

I got preg. my first month off the pill with my DD (now 3 1/2). We weren't trying to conceive, it just happened. :) I was only on the pill for 3 months though.

I have three good friends from college, all had been on BCP for several years, and all conceived the first cycle. Me... I'm still at it a year later.

Good luck to you!
