I stopped taking my pill and was pregnant straightaway Grin it can happen! I thought I had about 6 months, but no!

It must have taken about 2 days!

Oh it got me until I was going to be due on my period; testing before then showed nothing for me. I think I tested when I was about a week late and then I got a really strong positive. Also bought one of those clearblue digital tests that showed how many weeks you were, just for fun really!!

Hope you get the result you want xx

Great feedback thank u ! Do u girls mean it was 6 weeks before u got a positive test ? Or did have a normal cycle first then find out the next month ? Trying to work out whether I have a long time to wait before testing ( I'm so impatient) lol xxSmile

Two cycles for me and I think it only didn't happen on the first cycle because I had no idea how long my 'natural' cycle was since I'd been on the pill so long and we probably missed the window for dtd. Peed on some ovulation strips to find out exactly next cycle round, pregnant straight away. I'm 27 weeks now. Good luck to you!

I forgot to say, I'd been on the pill for 11 years, so I really didn't expect to fall pregnant so quickly. I remember remarking, well at least that proves it was doing something all that time!

It took us 7 months. For the first 4 we weren't really trying we were enjoying ourselves but for the last 3 months I was having fertility reflexology which helped me track my ovulation ect and I think that's what did it. :-)

Off in April, conceived at the end of June. Didn't find out until 7+2 in early August because a blood test done in early July was 2 days too early to pick it up!

Purple poppy - glad u got your Funtime I'm bofore hand can't imagine any one wants touched after the morning sickness kicks in lol X

Trijo- does that mean u released an egg later than normal ? Iv been taking tests and getting negatives , jw if after the pill an egg can be released any time ? I'm so confused with what's going on with me and can't find what I'm looking for on the Internet Sad will probs call the GP at the end of the week as no AF X
Strange the bloodiest didn't show til later on , u must have bn bewildered as to what was going on with your body ! Did u have symptoms and know yourself u wer possibly pregnant ? Sorry lots of questions ! Congratulations btw Smile xxg

Yep, I think I missed a period completely due to stress because I got married in late May and went on a long-haul honeymoon straight away.
