A member asked:

Im on birth control to regulate my menstrual cycles how long after i stop the pills will it take to get pregnant while having pcos and irregular cycle?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

6-12 mo: Stopping birth control should allow you to ovulate, however the pcos makes this more difficult. See a ob/gyn who can put you on metformin and Clomid (clomiphene) early.
