It takes a while for the hormones to leave your system. I do know that when my wife stopped using the pill after 10 straight years of using it, it took about 2 months for us to conceive. Could you be pregnant? Sure. Is it likely? I don't think so.

It's more likely that you'll become pregnant in the first month after quitting the pill than any other time. It's also very likely that your body is trying to get back on track, making your period go all wonky. If you're not experiencing any pregnancy symptoms (breast changes, nausea, fatigue) then I wouldn't worry, but I would schedule a blood test with my doctor just to be certain and I would definitely look into another reliable method of birth control.

You have been taking the pill for 11 and a half years and for that time your hormones responsible for your reproductive systems have been artifically controlled. You have taken away the artifical control and now your body is going, "huh?" It will take a litte time for it to settle down and re-assert it's own controls. If you don't want to become pregnant, then use a condom when having sex. If you are at all worried by what is happening, then you next stop should be a doctor to make sure everyhting is ticking along okay. Goodluck.

When my wife stopped the pill after 9 years of use, she got pregnant within the first month following. She became pregnant again 9 months after my son's birth with my daughter. Her period didn't start coming on a regular basis until 10 months after my daughter was born.
