Yep, I think I'm very fertile - we have four children - conceived 1st one while on pill, 2nd after 6 weeks coming off pill, 3rd was similar, no period for 3 months, but fell pg, 4th, concieved within 8 weeks. I had my first at 19, my fourth 4 weeks ago and I turn 30 in December. I think the baby making factory needs a rest!... ↑
Both my girls are birth control pill babies. First one we went on a trip to NYC and I forgot them (we were gone 4 days) and the second one I missed 2. Now I am freaking b/c hubby is chickening out on the big V and I don't trust the pill and am soooo done having babies. ↑
Hiya! yeah it does take different people a different amount of time to get pregnant after coming off the pill! i was on the pill for about 9 months! my friend came off the pill a month before i did and then we both started trying and she got pregnant a month before me! So it took us both 6 months to get pregnant! On the other hand, my auntie was on the pill and she came off and it took her nearly a year to get pregnant ... she had her baby and then went back on the pill ... she then wanted a second baby so she came off the pill early because she thought it would take a while and she got pregnant straight away! ↑
My cousin just delivered triplets that were conceived her first month coming off the pill. The ob/gyn said that it's very common to see multiples while your body is adjusting, though it's usually twins. ↑
Yes, twice!!! Also, while on the pill taking it every night at the same time. Been on about 8 different kinds. Now hubby and I just let nature take its course. I guess I am in that 1% (that's what the doctors say anyway). My mother was the same way! Go figure!! ↑
i started my period early last month (nov. 29th, should have come dec. 3), while ON the pill, and i just stopped taking them. i have been off of them since nov. 30th or so, and i decided (along w/ my fiance) to not take them this month and see what happens. i feel strange because i really want to have a baby, but i am 23 and about to grad. college, enter grad. school, etc... it feels like i should want to wait, but something is just making me baby-crazy, and i am hoping to get lucky this month. i should be ovulating (if, in fact, i do- coming off BCP) within a few days, so we'll see. all of your responses made me very hopeful. good luck danielle! ↑
I came of the pill and got pregnant within about 2 mnths or less. The initial mnths after coming off the pill can be a very fertile time. Have you concievd yet? ↑
First cycle off BCP (was on it for about 3-4yrs straight) and I fell pregnant. I unfortunately miscarried at about 2wks. This is my 2nd cycle off BCP, due for af 25th Dec, but dont think we would have conceived this month, due to the miscarriage last month - doubt my uterine lining would have built up enough to have been viable 4 implantation/conception. O well, when it happens it happens. :) Good Luck all! Mwa xo ↑
I'm a 25 year old mom of 2, i had my first 2 at a really young age (15 and 17) my son is going to be 10 in a week and my daughter will be 8 in july, i was on a low dose pill (alesse) when i got pregnant for my daughter.. I've been on birth control ever since and i now have the baby bug... my bf and i have decided to try to get pregnant. i was suposed to start my new pack of pills today but they're on their way to a landfill somewhere lol.. anywho, wish us luck i will let you guys know what happens. ↑
Oh yes, my friend! I was off tghe pill for 14 days (after being on it for 2 years) and bang..got pregnant. I went off in November and according to the ovulation calendar I ovluated on Dec. 13 (my son's 2nd b-day) and we did it under the Christmas tree (I know TMI). I am pregnant now and due on Sept. 5. By the way, I'm 35 years old... ↑
Oh Yeah! I was on the pill for 13 years because i had irregular periods.. I went off the pill around three months ago to beginm to prepare my body to get pregnant with my fiance at the end of this year - because i heard that you should wait atleast three months and the doctors and the natropaths said that it would take up to 9 ninths considering my menstrual cycle history! Anyway, im 11 weeks pregnant! so it was a real shock, i had mucked up the pill for years before and never had a pregnancy scare... so i guess it was meant to be!! just going to postpone the wedding now until the bubby comes!
i never thought this would happen to me soooo easily, its nuts!! good luck! ↑
hi i havent been on this in a while was having a browse and seen my post from last year i think i posted my question in march 2006 and appreciate that people are still posting. well it will be one year soon and im still not pregant its getting me down. i dont understand how a girl at the age of 19 (20 in april) cant get pregnant and is taking this long (i suppose i just have to be patient). anyways thanks girls for posting on my thread even though i havent logged in for a while. hopefully 2007 is my year! :) ↑
I was on the pill for 9 years, I went off it jan 10th or thereabouts. As soon as I went of fit I had a very short and heavy period, and then I got pregnant right away. Am now 5 weeks!! ↑
hi girls i took my last eriod on the 20th of January and i havent taken a period this month i took pregnancy test on the 23rd and it was negative but still no period its been 40 days now when shud i test again thanks :) ↑
I was on the pill but only took it for a month. I ovulated pretty shortly after i stopped taking it. I got pregnant even before my period came but unfortunately it ended in a miscarriage :( ↑
nope i tried when i came of the pill and no success was trying for about 2 or 3months and nothing. Then i got the injection and i am now 6 weeks 4days preg while i was on the injection.... ↑
I have really gotten some good info reading all the answers to this question! Thx! I just got off the pill 4 weeks ago to TTC. I was on the pill for 8 years and I did wait til the end of my pack to go off. Technically I should get my period tomorrow, but I read it may take up to 6 weeks to get it again & if it has been 8 weeks & no MP, you should see your Dr. to make sure you are ovulating!?!? Any thoughts if this is true? I sure hope it is true that you are most fertile right after coming off the pill, cuz we have been trying already! :) ↑
