Hi there,
After stopping the pills your body may take some time to regain its normal rhythm. Birth control pills prevent ovulation by maintaining certain hormone levels and suppressing our natural hormones that would otherwise stimulate the ovaries to ripen and release an egg. Once you are off pills your body has to start its own hormone production and may take time sometimes. Most women usually start having their menses regularly within 3 months of stopping their pills. If you fail to conceive by next month seeking the opinion of a gynecologist will be really helpful. Do keep us posted.
Take care and regards!
