Not quite sure but I know with me, I stopped the birth control in January and got pregnant in March.

well, let's look at some facts.

people can and do get pregnant sometimes while on the pill, so that means it is possible to ovulate while *still* on the pill.

people can and do get pregnant when they miss one or two pills, so that means it is possible to ovulate right away after stopping taking them.

people can and do get pregnant the first month of trying.
it takes the average healthy couple around 12 months to conceive.
doctors recommend waiting until after your first period after stopping taking the pill, before trying to conceive.

fact: every woman is different.

Well, Lol... I got pregnant the very first month I was off birth control. Same thing happened with my older sister. It really depends on the woman, but generally I *hear* that it takes about 3 months for a woman's body to regulate itself after going off the pill.
