Dr. Dennis Higginbotham answered

Specializes in American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology

No certain time: You could conceive as soon as you begin to ovulate. The could be 2 weeks after your last period on the pill - but could take as long as 6 months. It is safe to conceive soon after you stop the pill - at any time.
