A member asked:

What percentage of women ovulate right after quitting the pill?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No delay: Most women will resume ovulation soon after stopping the pill -- typically within 2-3 months. Perhaps 10-20% may have a longer delay. Keep in mind, some women may have PCOS and not be ovulatory.
