Hi,
Welcome to ehealthforum,
After stopping with the birth control use, your normal fertility can take a few months to upto a year’s time to return back. The time depends on how your body responds. Sometimes it can return back early and you can have ovulation in your menstrual cycles immediately after stopping with the birth control use.
If pregnancy is suspected, look out for development of any new symptoms suggestive of pregnancy and consider visiting your gynecologist at the earliest for thorough examination (to confirm pregnancy related changes/signs in body) and blood/serum HCG level test (to confirm/rule out pregnancy accurately).
If pregnancy gets ruled out, the chances of ovarian suppression or failure should also be ruled out (especially if you are not successful in your pregnancy plans). You should consider visiting your doctor/gynecologist at the earliest for further evaluation (to look for the underlying cause for your absent periods). Treatment as appropriate (based on the examination findings and investigation results) would be started to help you. Consider being in regular follow-up and monitoring of your treating gynecologist and report any abnormal/new symptoms immediately. Take adequate rest. Drink plenty of water. Maintain healthy diet and lifestyle.
Take care.
