Do you have to get off of birth control for a while before getting pregnant or just not taking it one day make you pregnant?

Question

I know that's kind of a hard question to understand, but what I mean is do you have to wait to get the birth control (hormones and crap from it) to get out of your system before you get pregnant or not?

Answer

I got pregnant 2 weeks after coming off birth control and Didn't even have a period.

Answer

Even if you were on the pill and missed one and had sex, there is a chance you can get pregnant. If your hormone levels drop enough to allow for ovulation, you're at-risk for pregnancy. 
Some moms feel better when TTC to be off hormonal BC for a month or two before trying... using barrier or rhythm method until their cycles are predictable. I don't think there is any data to support a fear for health of baby/pregnancy to get pregnant immediately after discontinuing hormonal BC, some feel better that way.

Answer

The average time off birth control pills that it takes your body to get it out of your system is 3 months

Answer

It took my body 3 months to regulate after I stopped birth control; however, my best friend got pregnant before she ever got a period after stopping birth control. Everyone is different.

Answer

My body completely rejected the pill. I had horrible symptoms and I started spotting irregularly after about s month of taking it. Now that I look back, the spotting may have been from me getting pregnant. I got pregnant while on birth control.

Answer

Depends on a few things. Your body and how it reacts to the birth control, what birth control your using, and what it does/how it works. 
Some women use it correctly and still get pregnant. Some women miss a pill, ovulate and get pregnant. Others get pregnant soon after stopping bc, while others take months to a year just to get cycles going again after stopping bc.

Answer

It's not the hormones it's waiting for your cycle to regulate. It took us 10 months I was on birth control for 7 years

Answer

I got pregnant 2 weeks after stopping the pill. I'm currently 23 weeks. I was on BC 6 years.

Answer

I got pregnant the very first cycle after stopping the pill and I was on it for 10-12 years (i will say I miscarried - not sure if there is any connection)

Answer

I conceived three months after i got off the pills. So it depends on your body i guess.
