Just enjoy it, don't make it a choir to get pregnant (if that makes sense). It took me about 4 months to fall pregnant after stopping the pill. Doc told me give it 6months and if nothing happened by then get some tests done for fertility.

I went off the pill and about 2 months later (both times I went off it) I fell pregnant. But it can take up to 2 years for it to leave your system.

It takes 3-6 months for the pill to get out of my system completely. There is a percentage of women that fall pregnant ON the pill, or shortly after stopping it, but most take a few months.

My GP told me women can be incredibly fertile after just coming off the pill so it's a great time to try for a baby - technically it's out of your system right away but some women find it takes time for their cycle to become more 'regular' as your body adjusts :)
