    Question Stupid Question

    I was just wondering if any one knew how long after going off the pill you can conceive?

    Thanks in advance

    As soon as you ovulate, pretty much! Although you may get normal cycles back straight away, it also may take a bit longer, so fingers crossed you're in the straight back to normal group! (BTW, not a silly question at all!)

    ETA: My first cycle off the Pill was 32 days, then I had 4 cycles at 6 weeks-ish in length (which I accepted as being normal for me), then a really weird one at 8 weeks, towards the end of that one DH decided to ditch the condoms and I fell pg right after that.

    Straight away is right. And sometimes when you don't even mean to. My 14 year old is a "pill baby". The result of a stomach bug and a LOT of vomiting/diarrhoea!!

    I fell pg straight off the pill. It did take until cd 25-26 til I Od, so it was a long cycle, but I got my BFP exactly two weeks after we DTD! So it DEFINITELY can happen. Mind you, some Drs do suggest waiting a month or two before ttc after coming off BCP. Everyone has a different opinion. Good luck!

    It took me 12 months TTC after coming off the pill. It took 8 weeks to have my first period also.
