It depends. : It depends what you're asking. Taking ocp's may induce having a menstrual bleed after recently being on lupron (leuprolide). However, it won't necessarily result in one conceiving earlier. Ocp's prevent ovulation and thus prevents conception. Thus, taking ocp's may actually delay conception, although it does induce menstrual bleeding (during placebo week of the pill pack).

OCP won't help: Your period may come back in the next month. Ocps stop ovulation. You can get prego without a period first but need to ovulate to conceive. If you're still not ovulating some blood work and an ultrasound is needed to find out why - could be pcos, thyroid or prolactin hormone problems, low hormone levels, or low ovarian reserve. You may need pills like Clomid (clomiphene) or Letrozole to help you ovulate again.
