there can be numerous reasons for your failure to conceive and those reasons may have nothing to do with your long-term use of oral contraceptives at all. every couple is uniquely different in these matters but five months is really not long enough to be overly concerned. many fertility specialists will have you wait a year but i know you are anxious. you can consult with a fertility specialist now perhaps starting with a simple semen analysis of your husband.
how long should it take to conceive after stopping the pill? . my husband and i have been ttc for about 5 months and so far no luck. i was on the pill for about 15 years prior to this. i have read that sometimes it can take up to a year or more but i have also spoke with several women who say that is not true because they either conceived while on the pill or shortly after stopping.
