I stopped the BCP after my last yellow pill on Friday. My DH and I are not actively TTC just yet.
I know they say to be careful for the next 2-3 months and that it can take a while for the BCP to wear off, but what happens if I happen to fall pregnant straight away? Can it affect the baby? |

YAY another off BCP'er!!!  From what ive heard, nope it wont affect the baby..
Ive known quite a few women who have come off the pill and had their BFP a month later with no negative results  ------------- http://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/2128f6">

Hi and welcome MrsH23, I have had loads of friend come off BCP and got pg straight away. It did not affect the bubs in the slightest. Don’t worry about it and have fun. The only advice I have is to keep a diary or chart of your cycles which will help you if you don’t get pg straight away.
Good luck |

My neice was a 'straight off BCP' baby - my sister did not even have a no pill AF - and she is perfect (and super smart!)

| Thanks ladies, it was playing on my mind a little bit. I'm sure we'll be chatting a whole lot more over the next few months! |
