Question I started Yaz around the first of July. After being on it only a month i realized i wanted to have another child, i have a 2 1/2 year old and i want my kids closer together, so i stopped after the first week of August and have had unprotected sex since then. Can i get pregnant so soon after stopping, and after only being on yaz for a month will it really have delayed the chances? How soon after... i hear tons of different answers, but i'm curious since i wasn't on it more than a month then it won't have an effect on how quickly i can get pregnant.?
Thanks.
Answer No one can predict how long it will take to get pregnant whether you've taken a hormone pill or not. One month on Yaz certainly won't have caused too much damage and shouldn't delay your fertility as long as your fertility is strong and you are generally healthy. It could certainly happen right away but it could just as easily never happen again. Pregnancy is like that.
Some people get pregnant easily and some never and then there is a range inbetween. Be patient and see what happens, stay healthy and everything should be fine. But no one can tell you what your situation will be, so all those different answers - not helpful for your situation.
