trying to conceive after Ortho Tri Cyclen

I need help I stop my birth control in December. I didn't have no period In January. it didn't start until February 10th. I have taken ovulation test and they have all been negative. I just took a pregnancy test and it was negative.
I have 2 kids already. it's just I'm 27 and I'm wondering if the birth control affected my fertility in some way?

Some people take longer than others to start ovulation after taking the pill. My dr said they don't do anything for 3 cycles sometimes 6 because you have to give your body time to regulate. GL

I was on Ortho and when isotopes I didn't have a period for 2 months. The dr checked all my levels and found out my thyroid was a little off. She gave me something and I took it and got back regular in January and just found out I was pregnant. I was not ovulating or having periods after isotopes the pill. Check with your dr.

Birth control shouldnt affect your chance on getting pregnant, your still having periods so your still producing eggs, after the pill it does take longer to get pregnant x
