How long does it usually take to get pg after being on BC. I have been on it for 8 years, non stop. I have been off of BC for about a month now. I haven't started my period this month, it should've started on the 2nd.

My mom would always say that once she got off of BC she would get PG. And my sister got PG while on BC. Don't know if family history is relavant or not, but wanted to add it anyway.

What do you think?

Hi there! When it comes to birth control pills  (am I assuming correctly that is what you mean by BC?) and the time it takes to get pregnant, everyone is VERY different. After 8 years without a break, your body is readjusting. Many women do not start their periods regularly for several months. If you do not start a regular period within 4-6 months, you should visit your gynecologist for a medical evaluation. Mother Nature doesn't look at a couple of months either way as a big deal. So, even if your family had a different experience, you're not far from them right now. Don't worry - really! Stress and worrying can help put off a period, which you don't want. Just relax, and let nature take its course.

Let me know how you are doing, and if you have any more questions!!
