Hello Megan,

Many women use birth control for many years before they decide they are ready to have a baby. When they stop the pill, they expect to get pregnant right away. Sometimes that doesn't happen. Women can be very surprised to find that they don't get pregnant right away. After years of trying not to get pregnant, they may expect to have it happen very soon after stopping the pill.

Most doctors will tell you that the birth control pill won't affect your fertility. The message is that you will ovulate within a month or two after stopping the pill. This doesn't always happen. For some women, it can take some time for the hormones in their body to get back to normal and regular ovulation to resume. Other women may have had problems with ovulation prior to going on the pill. These problems will often return after the pill is stopped.

I do wish you luck in conceiving...just keep an eye on things and keep in contact with your doctor!
