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. For some, it is almost immediate. But for most, there is at least a short delay. And for others, it could take many months. This variation is a function of the type and dosage of hormones used, as well as the basic physiology of the woman.
