Hi, I was 7 months on the birth control pill Yasmin to control irregular menstrual cycles and since I wanted to get pregnant, I stop using it.. After I stop using Yasmin, me and my husband tried for a baby (most of the time when I was fertile) but no luck.. Can Yasmin still prevent us to do this?
The pill controls your hormones, tricking your body into thinking that it's pregnant. If you have been on the pill for long enough you body will be in sync with that pill and your dose. After you stop using it, you body will take a while to respond to the change of hormones present in you system. Give it a while. it has been know to take women up to a year after stopping birth control to get pregnant. But in most cases at least a few months.

The pill only works while you are taking it. It does not cause infertility.
If you took it because of irregular periods, you may have an ovulation disturbance that caused the irregular periods. Did your doctor determine the cause of the irregular periods? Since you stopped the Yasmin, what have your periods been like?
If you are young, your periods are regular, and you have been off the pills for less than a year, the odds are that you will be pregnant within that year.
If your periods are irregular or you are older (into your thirties), then a consultation with your gynecologist is in order.
One of the most common causes of irregular periods is polycystic ovary syndrome. You can ask your doctor about it.
I'm no doctor but i have been using the yasmine pill in-between my pregnancies and we havent had any difficulty getting pregnant after i stopped.
I had heard that it takes a while for your hormones to 'stabilize' or something but i dont know how correct that information is.
I used the jasmine pill for a little over 2 years and its been 3 years since ive been off of it. My husband and I have been trying for that long and i yet to become pregnant.. WTF..

I agree with Kalpal, I think anything that messes with your hormones can cause fertility problems...
"Cronin and colleagues tracked nearly 60,000 OC users, including those on drospirenone pills, for their satisfaction with their contraceptive efficacy and their chances of pregnancy after discontinuing OC use. About 20% achieved a pregnancy in their first cycle after cessation and 80% after 1 year, irrespective of the type of OC used. These data are comparable to women wishing to conceive but not having been on OCs. Naturally, women are older when they stop contraception than when they started and age does have an effect on fecundity. OC use does not positively or negatively affect age-appropriate fertility."
Emphasis mine.
If you are under 30 years old, have regular periods, and have been off all contraception for a year, and have not gotten pregnant, see your gynecologist for an evaluation. If you are over 30, see your doctor if you have been trying for six months.
The birth control pill will cover up any problems you might have with ovulation. If you stop the birth control pills and do not have regular periods afterwards, that does not mean that the birth control pills caused the problem with the periods. Stopping the pills just allowed the problem to become visible.

Maybe they don't....all I know is the only women I know who had trouble conceiving were on "oral contraceptives" before hand.
