There are posts like this but they are old, so I thought I would start up a new one. I just came off birth control ( It’s almost our 1 year anniversary 🙂 ) and my husband and I aren’t necessarily “trying” but we arent “not trying” either. We just want to see what happens. I guess my question is, when did you come off birth control and how long did it take you to get pregnant afterwards?

I stopped BC in April and we used the pull out method. On my second cycle off BC we got pregnant the one time he didn’t pull out.

5 months / 5 cycles. We were definitely trying every one of those months, and it finally happened!

It took us 12 cycles after coming off birth control. I was also on Clomid. No medical issues with either of us.

it took us 15 cycles of actively trying, I was off birth control for 2 yrs. I was also on Clomid as well, and neither of us had any medical issues either.

I went of BCP in April & got PG our first month trying which was my 3rd cycle off BCP. We decided I’d go off the pill a few months before trying so I could chart & get a sense of my cycles. I also met with my OB for a pre-TTC apt/pap to make sure my lady bits looked alright.

Got pregnant on the second try, ended in an early miscarriage. Subsequently, I got pregnant on the fourth try. I’m not quite 10 weeks along so not 100% certain yet if this one will stick but at least we made it past the first heartbeat scan this time!

I love reading these threads. We’re on our second month/second cycle. Hoping the stars align sooner than later.

I said right away but just answering for my second pregnancy. I only used BC that time after my first and after I stopped BC we got pregnant pretty much right away… it ended in an ectopic though. However after I was cleared to try again I was pregnant pretty soon after that.

I was on BC for ~15 years and got pregnant during my second cycle after going off of it. Still early but hoping for the best!
