Is it safe to start trying to get pregnant right after stopping The Pill?

TCOYF Fertility FAQs
It used to be that women were encouraged to wait several cycles before trying to conceive following the use of the Pill. But nowadays, many physicians suggest trying shortly after discontinuing it, since some speculate there is a higher chance of conceiving within the first few months after stopping. When a woman comes off the Pill or other hormones, her cycles will usually revert back to the way they were before. However, the length of time it takes varies among women.

Is there an advantage to waiting a few months after stopping the pill before trying to conceive?

Birth control pill FAQ: Benefits, risks and choices - MayoCl...
For the purpose of dating the pregnancy — estimating when you ovulated and when your baby is due — it's somewhat advantageous to have at least one normal period before conceiving. In the past, doctors had concerns that if you conceived immediately after stopping the pill, you had a higher risk of miscarriage. However, these concerns have proved to be largely unfounded. If you plan to wait a few months, use a backup form of birth control while your menstrual cycles get back to normal.

Is it safe to continue trying to get pregnant while on the Insulite PCOS System?

PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome) - Frequently Asked Questi...
It is safe to continue trying to get pregnant while you are using the Insulite PCOS System. However, if you do get pregnant, we recommend that you discontinue taking the Insulite PCOS System supplements during your pregnancy, and then resume the supplements after you are finished breastfeeding. The reason is that, while we know that the Insulite PCOS System is safe and non-toxic in general, these supplements have not been tested in any clinical trials specifically on pregnant women or infants.

If you plan to have a baby, how soon after stopping the birth control pill can you conceive?

Birth control pill FAQ: Benefits, risks and choices - MayoCl...
One of the advantages of the birth control pill is that it's quickly reversible. After you stop taking the pill, you may have only a two-week delay before you ovulate again. Your period would follow about four to six weeks after you take the last pill. Once ovulation resumes, you can become pregnant. If this happens during your first cycle off the pill, you may not have a period at all. However, although possible, this scenario isn't likely.

Is it safe to get pregnant?

MSAA - FAQ
Many of those diagnosed with MS are young women with plans of having children at some point in their future.

Can I take diet drugs while trying to get pregnant?

FertilityPlus: Infertility FAQ for Women of Size
No. Diet drugs have not been fully tested in pregnancy, for one thing, but more importantly such dieting can lead to poor nutrition. You want a healthy baby, so it is best to keep your system as drug free as possible. Some literature suggests one should try to be drug free -- including over the counter medications, for 3 months prior to seeking pregnancy. See medical journal abstracts.

Is it safe to skip your period on the pill?

NoPeriod.com - FAQ
Current low dose birth control pills are very safe for most women. It is very unlikely skipping the period or the pill free week would change the safety of the pill. Birth control pills have been used by millions of women over the past 40 years. The first birth control pills contained about 10,000 mcg of progestin and 150 mcg of estrogen. The pills being recommended for every day or continuous use have only 100 to 1000 mcg of progestin and 20 mcg of estrogen.
