I stopped my pill 3 weeks ago.

Can you actually get pregnant in the first month? Or is it impossible?

I've had my bleed after my pill, but not had a first 'proper' period yet (obviously).

Is it possible to get pregnant that quick?

Of course it's not impossible to get pregnant the first month-if it were, you wouldn't ever need to worry if you forgot up to a month's worth of pills, you'd still have effective contraception. Obviously that is not the case.

when can you get pregnant?

After having sex?

I suspect that you can, don't you read of people falling pregnant after forgetting their pill, or being sick. So I expect its just horses for courses.

Is been on the pill for ten years. I got pregnant the first month I stopped taking it

I got pregnant in my first month of proper cycle. It took 6 weeks for the withdrawal bleed to come, BFP 4 weeks after that. If it wasn't possible then noone would need to worry about missing a pill surely.

Yeah. I mean I suppose I know it's not impossible but I guess uncommon?!

Some people say you are more fertile immediately after coming off the pill.

indicifal · 29/10/2019 20:13

That's promising!
