What Are My Chances Of Getting Pregnant Without Birth Control?

Hi doctor I'm 24 years and I have been on birth control for about 6 years now, i was on Yasman for 5 year and suffered from severe migraines it was so bad that the doctor told me to go of the pill iimmediately and after 2-3month start useing Yaz, I have been on Yaz for 9 months now and i recently got married, now I find that my libido / drive is very low and I’m considering going off the pill. I don’t want to take more tablets every day to feel better - I also find my moods are very bad some days... I have tried a clink pill as well and that made me sick every month before my period even worse then the Yasman - I went of that immediately... If I go of the pill how many days of a month can you get pregnant and how can I control that I don’t end up pregnant. I have a few friends close to me that do not use the pill or any other conceptive and they doing well.

Please help I really want to know if I am making the right decision?

Are your periods regular. What I am writing below holds good if your periods are regular.
In a menstrual cycle there are several days at the beginning that are infertile. In the middle is the fertile period. Several days before the start of next period are infertile. If you have a regular 26 to 32 days cycle then day 1to7 (day 1 is first day of the bleeding) and day 21 to beginning of the next period are safe days. You wouldn't get pregnant if you had sex during this period. The middle two weeks i.e. day 8 to 20 are unsafe. You can get pregnant if you have sex during this period. During this period either you or your husband can use condoms to avoid pregnancy. However you should know that they do not provide 100% protection.

Consider using copper intrauterine contraceptive devise. It is safe and does not cause any of the side effects you have mentioned above while using birth control pills.
