    they say 6 months but i think its a load of rubbish i have lots of friends that conceived within the first mnth. i think it depends on your age and how long youve been on the pill for. it took me 5 mnths but id been on the pill 15 years!!

    As soon as you get your first period after stopping taking the pill (for you it will be the next period cause technically you were still on the pill when you got this one) it means that your body has ovulated and you are able to conceive.
    I stopped the same way you did, had 2 more periods and then got pregnant.

    the day you miss or stop your next pill means you arent protected and can fall pregnant! there is no reason you cant fall pregnant straight away!!!

    It is recommenced that you wait for three cycles after coming off the pill before trying to conceive, however you should be taking folic acid supplements at least 3 moths prior to conception and throughout the pregnancy. Please do this as it prevents spina bifida and other neural tube defects.
