Going off BC. How soon do ya think I could get pregnant if I stop taking it.

Im wanting to stop taking my birth control because its making me sick. Hubby and I want kids but the thing stopping us is he might be going to afghanistan in april. He is on standby so we might not know until april. I dont mind being pregnant when hes gone so getting pregnant at the end of march would be ok. Im wondering my odds of getting pregnant within 5 months of going off nuvaring. When I was off all BC for 5 months (after being on yasmin for 2 years)  I never got pregnant. I have now been on Nuvaring for 6 months. Any thoughts on if I would get pregnant in the first 5 months? Thanks

My sister came off of bc and fell within 1 month with 2 of her kids, she was on depo for 6 months and took 10 months to conceive with her 3rd.

I myself was on depo for 2 and a half years and 27 months later i'm still not pregnant, it just depends on every woman's body some are ready to conceive quicker than others but if i was you i would start trying now i would count my blessings if you fell pregnant quick as seeing a negative HPT every month really pulls at the heart strings.  Best of luck whichever you decide

Yea everyone is different, I had been on the pill for almost 5 yrs and decided I wanted to be off it for a while. I figured it would be a while before I would be able to conceive but.......I got pregnant within 2 wks of taking my last pill. So you never know.

I have heard some people say that they think BC is the reason they can't conceive and I know some people that got pregnant the first month off. Everyone is different so there is really no way for you to know.

With my luck it will end up being asap. Just wondering if anyone else had gone off bc then back on and had different times for conceiving.
