Long term use of birth control pills should not have a negative impact on your fertility or on your ability to conceive.
Most women can get pregnant within the first 12 months of contraceptive discontinuation but a study found that women who used a combined estrogen and progestin birth control pills for more than three years were were more fertile than women who used them for a shorter period of time.
Once you stop birth control pills your period should return within a few months.
There is an obvious delay in returning to normal ovulation and menstruation as your body takes time to start producing these hormones again.Most women can become pregnant within 6 months of trying.
However, bear in mind that there are known risks in taking the pill for a very long period of time, in the form of blood clots, especially after the age of 35.
Unlike birth control pills, getting pregnant after a Depo-Provera shot can take much longer and up to a couple of years.
The IUD method as well as contraceptive ring users can usually conceive within a year after stopping use.
