Max 6 months: After stopping the pill, menses resume anywhere from 4 weeks to 6 months. It varies for everyone. You cannot make it start sooner. The chance of pregnancy with all else being normal is only 20% per month. So once ovulation restarts you are just as likely to be pregnant in the first month as in the 5th month.

Depends: WE can not predict how long an individual will take to get pregnant. Birth control pills are out of your system in about 7 days and then you are back to your baseline fertility ---whatever that is for you. 90% of couples are pregnant within 12 months.
