http://www.fertilityties.com/post/show/coming-off-birth-control-2 Dr. Q, I stopped taking birth control pills after my period at the end of June. My period began July 27. It was lighter than my periods were before I ever took the pill. Does that mean I didn't ovulate in July? I didn't get pregnant which is a concern to me. You have said there could be a slight delay in fertility. How long and why? I am 27 years old.
