birth control pills and conception

[es_matty]

how long after stopping birthcontrol pills is it safe to start trying to concieve?

I think it depends ont he health care professional as to what advice they give you.....My midwife suggested being off of the bc pills for 3 months prior, as well as taking a prenatal vitamin high in folic acid.  Hope this helps

It is safe to conceive right away.

I'm 42 and trying (desperately) to get PG.  I heard that going  on birth control pills for 1 or 2 months, and then trying to conceive heightens your chance.  Anyone heard of that?

Have you spoken with your doctor? At your age, the standard rules don't apply. You get to jump right in rather than waiting a year.

I would definitely either set up with your Gynecologist/Obstetrician or get a referral to a reproductive endocrinologist. Unfortunatley tiem isn't on your side, so the sooner the better.

I don't think going on the pill for a few months is a wise option for you at this time, unless suggested by your doctor. I would definitely call first thing Monday morning and get in there and get things rolling : )

Good Luck!

Thanx Andrea! Yea, I think I'll do that, cause time is not, unfortunately, on my side.
