So ive only posted in here once asking for advice, so I know none of you remember me. But we just recently decided to start TTC. Well I stopped taking my birth control obviously. I was on the orth evra patch, I took my last one off about 3-4 weeks ago and i am having terrible headaches. My dr said it was expected and completely normal but i just dont know for how long so im curious if anyone else has gone through this.

Also im curious to know how long it could take after coming off BC to get pregnant, if anyone has any previous experience with this. I tried looking online but most sites give different answers. Ive gotten times from immediately to  2-3 months all the way to over a year.

Those are probably all right answers. It depends on the person.

Birth control is horrible stuff and does horrible things to our body. Some women have infertility and mc after birthcontrol while others concieve immediately and do fine. So their is no telling which you will be. I am sorry your getting headaches. I hope they get better soon!

 It depends on the person. Some people may get pregnant immediately, some will have a hard time getting pregnant. There's no way to determine how long it will take. I've never been on birth control and am 21 years old. Most people looking at me would think that I would get pregnant right away, but I have been TTC for 10 months. It's best to talk to your doctor.
