I Stopped Taking This Pill About 5-6 Months Ago Now Trying To Conceive.Why Is It Taking Me This Long To Conceive Or Is Everyone Different ? Pregnant ?
Hi I am 19 years old will be 20 next July. I was taking a contraceptive pill for a year called Noriday. While taking this pill I didnt have any periods as I was told to take it constantly and not miss any days!! I stopped taking this pill about 5-6 months ago as myself and my partner are trying to concieve. My periods are back to normal and are fairly regular but I still havent conceived. I've been told that because I had no periods for so long it takes time for the cycle to get back to normal but Im worried that there might be a problem!! Why is it taking me this long to concieve or is everyone different?? Please give me some answers what should i do?

Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
The effect of oral pills reverses as soon as you stop taking them. The ovulation also returns back to normal in 2-3 months. In your case the delay in conception might be due to wrong timing of intercourse. You should calculate your fertile days to have better chances of conceiving. You need not worry. If you do not succeed in next 4-5 months after having regular sex in fertile days then you can consult a gynecologist to rule out the organic causes.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.

Dr. Praveen Tayal
