Yep. Stopped in May last year, found out in July I was pregnant (despite 3 bfn) & had to have a dating scan as we had no idea how far along I was (was confirmed at 9 weeks.)

I'm booked in for a section in 2 weeks :)

I did yes

First it was micro-watsit, I did take it correctly however I was a bit of a party girl at this point and did a fair bit of being sick so I put it down to that

Then it was celest, and my gp advised I don't take oral contraception anymore

Injection has never failed for me

Yup. Stopped the pill 10 days before our wedding. Morning sickness started on honeymoon! I put it down to a bug.

with ds1, I came off the pill and got pregnant 10 days later!

This time, Ive not been on the pill for over a year as I cant find one that suits. As soon as we agreed to start trying I got pregnant 4 days later!

Both times we assumed it would take months but nope..

Dd1 I got pregnant on the pill despite being religious about taking it! Dd2 will be here in April and she was conceived within 6 weeks of stopping the pill.
