Is it true that if you are on BC and you want to conceive it may take up to 2yrs after stopping the pill to get pregnant??? My FH told me that his sis told him that her friend stopped BC and it took her 2yrs to get prenant and then she miscarried. I was a bit upset at this because he couldnt give me any more info on the girl..like, how old is she? what is her medical background? has she miscarried before? is this what her Dr. said, or is she assuming its due to the BC? In any case, Im curious to know your opinions on this matter..I heard that its not really true..that once you stop BC you can try to get pregnant...but Im just wondering what you girls know (especially those of you who are on BC)
TIA

It really depends on your body. My neighbors got pregnant a month or two after being off the pill.

LOL I've heard the same think about BFing that's why I would not trust that as a BC method although some say it works, that is a huge risk to me.

I don't think this is true. The BC pack even says to use an alternate form of BC if you miss more than three pills. You can definitely get pregnant shortly after stopping the pill.

I agree with this. I got pregnant not even a year after being off the pill.
