The time interval after discontinuation of hormonal contraceptives before pregnancy
Most doctors and experts believe that after stopping the pill pregnancy can occur only after three months. Actually this is not quite true. There are several reasons.
One of the most important factors is the duration of intake of oral contraceptives. If a woman is protected by the pills for several years, her body may simply forget to produce its own hormones – estrogen and progesterone. While the development process is to debug and finally ovulation is restored, it may take considerable time: from several months to several years. The speed of this process can be calculated using a simple formula: three month recovery for each year of birth control pills. If oral contraceptives were taken less than six months after their cancellation may occur completely reverse the process. The egg can begin to behave as "starving". In medicine this phenomenon is called "pregnancy for cancellation or rebound effect. This means that conception can occur even the next day after the abolition of birth control. In medical practice, even were such cases when in the treatment of infertility doctor prescribed hormonal contraceptives for the artificial creation of the above effect.
Individual calculation
Remember that every body is different. Therefore, after five years of taking the pills conception may occur after a couple of weeks. However, almost all the gynecologists and endocrinologists agree that after discontinuation of the pill pregnancy can occur after an average of three months. These are the dates to consider when planning a pregnancy. You must also take into account the age. A woman over the age of 22-23, the restoration of ovulation might require more than a year. If older than 30 years and birth control was made more than a year after the abolition of contraceptives at conception may take two years. This uncertainty of timing is associated with the fact that tablets have a broad spectrum of action and can be the cause of acute gynecologic diseases. It is therefore logical that the restoration of reproductive functions may require additional time.
