MemberThere 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?
MemberI 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.
MemberI got pregnant the third cycle after coming off birth control. We weren’t trying.
Member5 months / 5 cycles. We were definitely trying every one of those months, and it finally happened!
MemberIt took us 12 cycles after coming off birth control. I was also on Clomid. No medical issues with either of us.
Memberit 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.
MemberI 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.
MemberGot 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!
MemberMemberMemberI love reading these threads. We’re on our second month/second cycle. Hoping the stars align sooner than later.

Member2nd cycle after getting IUD removed. 1st month trying.
MemberI 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.
MemberI 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!
