Sometimes it's as little as one day, sometimes it takes weeks or months. Sometimes a woman who stops taking the pill because she's trying to have a baby will have to actually take a few doses a couple of months down the road to "kick start" her reproductive system into ovulating properly again. (This is what often happens when a woman 'skips' a pill and gets knocked up: she's dropped the hormone level, then given it a little kick, and her system shoots out an egg.) I have numerous family members in professions related to reproductive physiology (not all of them HUMAN reproductive physiology I admit), have worked in one myself, and we ALL like to talk shop.

It always amuses me when I meet a woman who knows less about her ovaries than I do.

It says it "could" take up to two months but then another doctor states further down "Stopping the pill? Right away." In other words, women can get pregnant right away. I had stated a woman can get pregnant right after going off the pill because you said it wasn't possible in your original post. Then you said in your most recent post "sometimes it's as little as one day"..... So why are you disagreeing with me then? And I get the whole sugar pills thing but thanks breaking it down for everyone.

I wasn't trying to be a jerk to you but obviously I have insulted you in some sort of way to have received such an offensive response so I apologize if my post had offended you.

. . . if you are having sex, you COULD get pregnant. There are averages, there are observed patterns, there are clinical trials that may show the odds are you won't, there are percentages you can try to work, there are steps you can take to minimize the risk, but basically you should understand that short of not having sex nothing else is 100%.
I have 4 children. I planned to have 4 - but only in only 1 case did I become pregnant when the odds said I would. In fact, my last two are only 15 months apart, and I had the last one at 39. The statistics say I should have had a hard time getting pregnant with #3 at 37, never mind the odds of #4 at 39. And I was told before #1 that I might NEVER be able to get pregnant.
So, long story short - SEX COULD ALWAYS LEAD TO PREGNANCY is a good motto to live by.
