Took 3 months after the pill. Doc told me it may take at least 6 months. So hang in there and try to relax.

It took my husband and I a complete year to conceive. I got off of birth control December 2011 and we got a positive pregnancy test January 2013. It took 6 months for my periods to get on a predictable cycle and then an additional 6 months to actually conceive. We were trying and praying every month and it finally happened for us. I am so happy. Looking forward to my second trimester!! Good luck

I was on birth control for about 12 years...got pregnant while on it..miscarried, waited two months, started trying, and got pregnant right away. After that all our babies were conceived as soon as we stopped birth control and I'm currently pregnant with a surprise baby(#4), lol. We were using NFP and I was breastfeeding....so what I can say from my experience is that sometimes women who are on birth control will struggle after they come off of it to conceive, but it's more common that because birth control regulates your cycle it can actually be helpful it conceiving when you stop taking it, because your cycle should be fairly regular.
