How long does it take to get pregnant after being on birth control?

Answer 1

After stopping the Birth Control patch, you are likely to ovulate in two to four weeks and will get your period in four to six weeks. That means you can get pregnant before your first post-patch period. You can start trying to conceive any time you like. While health care providers used to advise patients to use a barrier method for 1-3 months, this recommendation was to make it easier to figure out how long you've been pregnant, not because of any increased risk of miscarriage or other problems if you get pregnant immediately after stopping hormonal birth control. With the use of ultrasound, that waiting period is no longer recommended.
Yes.
Dear Reader; The patch is close to the pill in effect. A couple days without it and protection is greatly diminished or gone. In other words yes you could be. Dwight

No. It's a noted fact that if women are on any type of birth control (pill form or the patch) that if you stop taking it you are much more likely to get pregnant quickly. Don't worry! Talk to your family doctor about it and put your mind at rest.

The reason they say to wait is so that it is easier to pinpoint the due date...Best of luck! :):)

You can get pregnant immediately, if you ovulate it is safe to conceive. You may want to wait until you have had one period so you know when your LMP is although with modern ultrasounds it is not really necessary.

Hello there.

Doctors usually advise women to wait between one and three months to conceive after stopping birth control pills.

My doctor told me to wait two mentrual cycles before trying to conceive.

No, you can get pregnant immediately after using the birth control patch without any special medical concerns.

Answer 3

The funny thing is that if you get pregnant within the first few months of stopping birth control you are much more likely to conceive twins...however depending on the type and the lenght of time you were on birth control you can conceive after about a month
2-3 months
It differs between women. If you haven't got pregnant after trying for 18 months seek help.
It is usually recommended to wait two to three menstrual cycles after going off the pill before trying to get pregnant. To be safe, I would wait three months.

Ideally you should take folic acid for 3 months before starting trying to conceive. If you have already done this then wait for one normal period before trying. This will just make it easier to date your pregnancy.

Technically, it doesn't really matter if you don't get a period, it just makes working dates out easier.

No, there's no medical need to wait to get pregnant after stopping birth control.

Nuva Ring has no effect on pregnancy occurring during or after use. There is no need to wait to try to conceive. However, it makes sense to talk to your health care provider about folic acid and other preconception counseling issues. Best wishes to you and your family!
You can start whenever you and your partner are ready. There is no medical reason to wait to try to conceive after using Nuva Ring. It would be a good idea, though, to talk with your health care provider about folic acid supplements and other preconception testing and counseling. Best wishes to you and your family!
Nuva Ring, like the other hormonal birth control methods, does not increase the rate of birth defects for those who get pregnant while using it nor for those who just recently discontinued it. The science on this point is clear.

Answer 5

When you stop the birth control patch, you will probably have withdrawal bleeding, as you typically have during your patch-free week. After that, if you had regular periods before you started the patch, you'll probably ovulate in two to four weeks, and get your first post-patch period in four to six weeks. You can get pregnant before your first period after stopping the patch.

If your periods were irregular before the patch, they're likely to return to that irregular habit after you stop.

Answer 6

Up to a year, after that you can consult with a fertility specialist.

Answer 7

No, you can safely remove it now and your hormones should go back to normal fairly quickly.

Answer 8

There is no need to wait to get pregnant after stopping the IUD or any other birth control method. You can get pregnant immediately.
