How long did it take for you to get pregnant after stopping birth control?

Question

Hey all!
I stopped taking my birth control pills about 2 months ago because my partner and I are trying to conceive. I have been doing a ton of online research about getting pregnant after birth control. I am 23 and have been on it since I was 14. How long did it take you to get pregnant after you stopped any form of birth control? I am just very curious and anxious while I wait.

Answer

With my first and current pregnancy, one month. With my first pregnancy I was shocked that it happened so quickly as i was on birth control for 4 years straight.

Answer

5 months. I was on the pill and the shot for 10 years combined. The last form I was on before I stopped was the pill.

Answer

20 days

Answer

We got pregnant our first cycle of “not preventing”.
I had been on the pill for 5 years, then Nexplanon for 3, then went back on the pill for 2. I finished my last BC pack in July of 2019, and then we went to condoms for a few months. I wanted to let my body “regulate” a little and do it’s own thing after being on hormonal BC for so long. I had a regular cycle August and September. We got married October 5th and stopped using condoms. My last period was October 7th. We’re having twins at the end of June.

Answer

i started taking birth control pills in may 2012 (18 hrs old) and stopped them february 2019 (25 years old) to try to conceive, so i was on them about 7 years. i did ovulation tests every month & didn’t actually start ovulating until may, so 3 months later. i finally got a positive pregnancy test in september 2019. so start to finish of getting off of the pill to actually pregnant took me about 7 months. 
what’s funny though is that it was emotionally draining testing ovulation every single month & making sure to do the deed on my highest fertility days. it was stressful, almost like a chore & it was also saddening to both my husband and i when i would take pregnancy tests only to see negatives & also when my period would come. the month before we found out we were pregnant, we moved across the state so we were super busy & i didn’t do any ovulation tests at all that month, we just went with the flow. then boom, we made a little baby. 
i forgot to mention earlier that i went to see my OB/GYN the same month i got off of birth control so that she could check to see the health of all of my reproductive organs. i highly recommend that. also, don’t stress it every month. i truly believe stress has a huge role to play in you actually becoming pregnant. i wish you luck & baby dust! 😇
