Getting off birth control... How long?

Question

How long does it take for your body to get regulated after going off birth control?? Want to stop taking it now and get my body regulated. But not planning on tryin to conceive until after May. I've heard it takes a long time then I've heard it doesn't take long. Anyone have any experience with this and have any advice about the time frame after going off birth control?? Thanks!

Answer

I have two older children and was taking birth control since I was 16.
With my son (not planned) I was actually taking birth control at the time but was young and wasn't told the prescription I was given would cancel the pill. 
With my daughter (planned) I got off the pill and the conceived the next month. 
Now we're TTC first month (years later) been off the pill for two months.... Fingers crossed!!
But if you want to wait till after may id say use protection as it really could happen at anytime. 
Good luck :)

Answer

Thank you all!! I'm going to go off the pill and just use protection until i graduate nursing school so we don't have any babies yet! Even though I want one now lol Good luck on TTC!! :)) thanks for the advice. I really appreciate it!!! :)

Answer

I think it incredibly important to start tracking your regular cycles and get a handle on when you ovulate, long before you start trying.

Answer

I can't comment much but you could always come off it and use condoms until May? That's prob what I'd do if I didn't want to officially start trying.
