When can I get pregnant if I stop taking birth control? (I)

Anticonceptive pill

Today there are numerous contraceptives that work differently, therefore, the effect on our body is not the same and, when leaving them, the fertility it may take more or less time to return. Next, we are going to analyze each of these methods to tell you when you have a chance of getting pregnant after quit the pill.

The pill

This method prevents ovulation from occurring by acting primarily on the pituitary gland by a combination of estrogens and progestin, which are synthetic hormones. In this way, the ovaries are as in "pause." It also causes the endometrium (the lining of the uterus) to change, so that it becomes unable to hold the future baby. Another effect it has is to prevent sperm from crossing the cervix by modifying the mucosa.

When you stop taking the pill, everything returns to normal, ovulation occurs again, the uterus changes its lining to allow future implantation, and the mucosa no longer prevents the passage of sperm through the cervix. Since then, you are again fertile.

La possibility of pregnancy It appears from the first ovulation after stopping the pill, although depending on the age this process will be more or less rapid. There are women who in the same month of stopping them have managed to get pregnant, even forgetting a pill has been able to cause a pregnancy, while others need several months for everything to return to normal (it will be a doctor who must control this).

It is often thought that seeking pregnancy after stopping the pill is not correct because the body is "intoxicated" and they must allow it to "detoxify." Think this it's a mistake, women who got pregnant while missing a pill or just after quitting had equally healthy babies. There are doctors who recommend waiting three months simply to give the uterus, the mucosa and ovulation time to return to normal, but there is no no risk if you don't wait those three months.

    Hello, I have been taking contraceptives for 6 years and every few months I would leave a month of rest, generally after that my period would become irregular. Since the last month that I left the pills, 60 days passed without it coming to me, I took a pregnancy test that gave me negative but it took a long time and I really don't know what to think. after how long can the body fertilize again after the abandonment of concepts?

    I have been taking the pill since I was 15 years old, but on March 23, I put the IUD in, I started taking the pills again on March 11, because on March 12 they took me away because it was giving me a lot of problems, so I started taking the pills. On May 11, 2 months ago, yesterday they called me from the Red Cross clinic to tell me that the tests they did on me went well and the gynecologist told me that I will only take the pills until Friday 17:18 pm, not because on the 20th I start to prick myself to donate the eggs and I have to take the pills that she gives me what I want to know is if leaving the pills I could get pregnant because I have been practically a year without taking them and in truth I have only been two months and I would like someone to explain whether or not I can stay at the moment
