Conceiving after long term contraceptive pill use

[pumpkinpieinmyeye]

Just curious as to how long it took various ladies to conceive after being off the pill. I have been taking for around 10 years and have been pill free for one month, with the view to TTC after Christmas. Worrying what 10 years of pill use has done to my body! TIA x

I came off the combined pill (was on microgynon then rigevidon) after 14 years at end of May, had a withdrawal bleed, and then no periods at all for nearly 5 months until I finally got it yesterday. Haven't started TTC yet so haven't tested as wanted to wait for periods to return properly first. Will hopefully start trying next summer, once everything has settled down a bit!

Early days for me but I came off end of May, started TTC after 3 months and bfp first time we tried! Desperately hoping it sticks....

I was on the pill for 12 years. When I came off it, my first 2 cycles has luteal phases of 7 day - so obviously too short - and I started to worry. However, I conceived in cycle 3 and all was fine.

I came off the Yasmin pill on Aug 1eths and I'm still waiting for my first period. I keep reading that it can take a while but still worrying that something is wrong. i dodnt realise how much I wanted to fall pregnant until now as I'm getting so impatient! it's reassuring to hear people positive experiences after coming off bc. Fingers crossed for those of us that are ttc

I came off the pill after on and off use for about a year and a half. I got my BFP today after being off the pill for 3 months, however I’m not sure how far gone I am yet fingers crossed for you xx

congratulations @MissSophieB397 that's great news😊How quickly did you ovulate/ get your first period after stopping the pill x

I ovulated after about 5 weeks properly from what I can remember, as I use the Ovia fertility app. I guesstimate I’m around 4 to 5 weeks so far, and I stopped taking the pill at the end of July. So it didn’t take me long at all, my periods were really irregular too I had bleeding here, there and everywhere. The best thing to do is to try not to think about it too much! Track your fertile window through the ovia fertility app and your AF. It helped me tonnes xx

You stop taking it, it stops working. That’s why if you miss one at certain points you becoming pregnant.

I was on it longer than you and have become pregnant first time, every time.
