As soon as you stop taking your pills you can get pregnant just like women who miss one day and get pregnant but that doesn't mean it will happen right away.  It just depends on you and your partner. Everyone is different.

everyones different.. depends when your ovulating and if your periods are still regular. It could be right away or it could take a year or more.. you can buy ovulation prediction strips at a cvs or walgreens or any pharmacy really to be right on with your ovulation

It really depends on the person. I was on bc for 8 years stopped taking it last week in march 2012 when my pack ran out got pregnant 3 weeks later now 32 wks. I was worried it would take me a long time or I wouldn't be able to get pregnant.
