how quickly can you fall pregnant after coming off the pill?

Hi there. I was on the pill for alot longer than you and stopped taking it in December. Have only had one proper period since which took 6 weeks to appear and so far nothing has happened but it's still early days.

Everyone is different though so just make sure you're taking folic acid and enjoy!

Lots of luck and keep us posted

Good idea, you never know! At least you know youve got PCOS or they might ask you to try for like 6 months before they look into anything. Lol youre kinda a step ahead

No they wont, unless you have a bad doc(?), ttc is trying to conceive. Im 21 and not ttc but was diagnosed last year and asked cos i was worried it was like a huge thing but they said im only like a 4 on the PCOS spectrum so would only need drugs for ovulation but could fall anyway.

Youve already been diagnosed so you can say that youre worried about it and want to know your options. A lot of people think their doctor will laugh at a lot of things but theyre trained and just there to help you. You might as well ask as you know you have a degree of difficulty in getting pregnant, better to be trying everything?

You could go to the doctor? Mine said, when I was diagnosed, that in the future when I want to ttc they can put me on something for ovulation and perhaps clomid. Apparently its v.effective. And I know there are other fertility treatments. You can either just wait and maybe get pregnant or go to the doctor and ask what they recommend.

Oh right. The only thing when i came off the pill before i didnt have a period for about 8 months. then got told i P.O.S.and got told i had to go back on the pill again to sort out my periods. shall i just stay off the pill and just pray i have a period?! and keep trying for a baby

If you have come off your pill only a month ago your periods havent straightened out for you to be able to tell how long they are and thus work out your ovulation dates. However, Ov Sticks maybe able to help you but then you might not be as relaxed cos youre monitoring all the time. And alot of people have said that destressing and relaxation are the key aspects that helped them fall pregnant.

Hi there. I was put on dianette when i was on 15. (am no 21)then it got changed to Yasmin and something else i then came of it and got told i had polycystic ovaries. so had to be put back on dianette. I came off the pill last month and have been trying for a baby with my Husband but nothing seems to be working. Do you have any ideas on how u become pregnant so quickly after coming off dianette?1
thanks
Hi hun the original post i did was 1 year ago. We stopped trying after a month because my husband is in the army and work commitments meant he had to go away! so when he came back in aug last year we started trying again. I found out i was pregnant 6 weeks later! Im now expecting my baby in 2 weeks time! All i can say is try not to think about it so much make it fun with your partner and relax xx hope it all works out for you hun x
