I was on the pill for 10 years and thought it would take about 5 months or so at least to conceive. To be honest I thought it might take longer. Therefore I didn't mentally prepare and then I got pregnant the very first month! I am obviously thrilled and feel very lucky it was so straight forward. However I did feel a bit odd and a bit like a fraud as there was no definite 'trying' stage. I think a lot of women my age (late 20s) are confused about fertility as we are constantly hearing and reading stories about women struggling to get pregnant and using IVF/ special supplements etc. I felt rather annoyed that when I was younger we were so scared about getting pregnant from being anywhere near a boy and then, in reality it is actually quite hard to conceive. That was all before I fell pregnant aprox 5 weeks after coming off my pill though.......

jesus!! lol!! that was very quick!! I read somewhere that women are more likely to fall pregnant after coming of the pill??!.. Hummm! x
I don't think women are more likely to becomes pregnant... could be true though. Try to relax, just enjoy the 'baby dance' (sex) and it will happen soon enough. Some people get pregnant between 1 and 3 months but others can take 8 - 12 months! Varies from woman to woman. x

Hiya, I was on the pill for 2 years and I was taking it without a break (so i didn't have periods) cos of my endometriosis and I was amazed that it only took me 2 months to get caught :-)
