Thanks everyone for the comments. I have been off birth control for 6 months now and still haven't gotten anywhere. Everyone I've talked to around me says it normally takes up to two years which is why I posted the questions. I'm hoping it will happen sooner then later. I'm taking prenatal pills to help make me more fertile. Has anyone heard of doing this??

Took me 14 months and I had a chemical pregnancy at 8 months. After the cp I stopped ovulating and had to take clomid to concieve. There's no exact science on when you'll get pregnant. It can take up to a year for birth control to leave your system completely.

It took me 8 months and at 4 months I had a chemical pregnancy.  But, I have heard more stories than not of people getting pregnant almost immediately after.  Best of luck to you!

All women are different. One might get pregnant immediately, another could take months to a few years.
