Yes, it is possible: You are fertile as soon as you stop your birth control.
If your cycles are regular you probably ovulate about 2 weeks after you started your last period.
If you had sex around that time and have missed your period then perform a pg test.
Also, women can have up to 6 months of no periods after stopping pills but not be pregnant.
