Question
i stoped taking this pill about a month and a half ago, and i still haven't gotten pregnant. Is there a certain amount of time it takes for all of it to get out of your system? i heard three months but I want to be sure...We REALLY want a baby!
Dear Cassie,
I'm not a medical professional so please check with your dr. But I have heard 3-6 months for your cycle to get back to normal. I can't predict for sure. Don't panic and just relax. Natural family planning might be helpful. Check with the other lady under birth control, Ramona,and email her. When you think you are pregnant, you can get a free pregnancy testing center location by checking out http://www.optionline.org
Let me know what happens!

| Comment | Thanks for responding so quickly. I'm not really panicing, it's just so exciting. I was kinda just wondering for my own piece of mind. My fiance and I figured that if it hasn't happened yet isn't not supossed to. I just like to know my info. Thanks again for your help. I don't really get to talk to any other women other then my best friend on occasion and she's going through the same thing as me. It's nice to get advice from people. Thanks Cassie :) | ||
