OB/GYN: Roy Pitkin, M.D.
I have stopped taking birth control pills after 10 years of use. But I haven't had a period. How can I become pregnant?
By Roy Pitkin, M.D.
It sometimes takes the ovaries a little time to recover from the suppression of birth control pills, but function normally returns (indicated by a menstrual period) by the third month after you've stopped. If there hasn't been a period by three to four months, you should see a doctor who may want to do some testing and perhaps prescribe medication to stimulate ovulation.
