TTCer crashing with a question

After stopping birth control how long did it take you to get pregnant? If you don't mind adding how old you are since that plays a role.

(barring any other issues of course)

TIA

Re: TTCer crashing with a question

I was on BC for many many years. I went off BC in December and got pregnant in July (the first try). I wanted to be off BC for a while since I had heard that it can take a while for your body to sort of regulate after going off of it.

AF was CRAZY for me after going off BC. I never knew when i was going to get it - my cycles were very long and very irregular. I started temping out of pure frustration never knowing when I was going to get AF.

So, even though my AF was so wacky, I temped and used OPKs and we were lucky enough to get pregnant on the first try.

I was 30.

11 days....then twins!

Re: TTCer crashing with a question

i stopped it in May for medical reasons (i was getting hives - Drs assumed the hormones were contributing) after being on it for 8 years. I was pregnant with twins in November.

Re: TTCer crashing with a question

I was 31 when I initially went off in November 2007. We waited one cycle to TTC. I got pregnant our first try in January 2008, but miscarried in March. Waited one cycle after the mc and it then took us 6 months to get pregnant again.

ETA - I was on the pill for about 10 years or so.

Re: TTCer crashing with a question

Was on the pill for about 11 years. Got pregnant maybe 5 months after I was off the pill.

BTW... the first 2 months I didn't know anything about cycles or anything so we figured we'd wing it. After that I counted my cycle and it was a couple of months.
