Hello ladies,

have a question, i'ved looked on several websites about this and can't find an answer.

How long after you stop birth control, does it normally take to get pregnant? How long was it for you ladies?

There is no answer for this question that why you wont find it anywhere on the net. It depends greatly with each woman. Some will right away , some will not ovulate for months to come, some will have irregular cycles. It just cannot be answered.

I stopped bc in late may and tested positive 2 days ago. It can take a little while... Or a long while. But I read somewhere that the low dose bc (pills, I mean) prescribed leaves your system much sooner than the old school stuff of the '60s.

Yeah it only takes days for it to be out of your system . Thats why if you miss more than 3 pills your at high risk for ovulation. Lots of women need a couple of months to ovulate again because they had irregular cycles hence, why they took the pill to begin with.
