Time to test: You can get pregnant within the first month after stopping your pills. You can use a home pregnancy test now since it's been at least a week since you've missed your period.

Yes: You can get pregnant immediate after stopping birth control pills. A home pregnancy test will usually turn positive 2-3 weeks after conception.
