Not a whole month passes and THEN they got pregnant. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-those-who-got-pregnant-the-first-month-off-bc#post-97360 Tue, 20 Mar 2012 10:01:51 +0000 daniellemybelle 97360@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When I hear, "I got pregnant the first month off BC," I have always thought that meant that they got pregnant as soon as they stopped taking their pills, and never got an off-BC period. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-those-who-got-pregnant-the-first-month-off-bc#post-97353 Tue, 20 Mar 2012 09:56:29 +0000 chopsuey 97353@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would say the first month off BC. Some women have gotten pregnant right after they stopped taking pills. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-those-who-got-pregnant-the-first-month-off-bc#post-97346 Tue, 20 Mar 2012 09:50:04 +0000 Andrea 97346@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would say after as well? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-those-who-got-pregnant-the-first-month-off-bc#post-97340 Tue, 20 Mar 2012 09:47:46 +0000 heffalump 97340@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would say after I got my period. I got pregnant the second month off BC though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-those-who-got-pregnant-the-first-month-off-bc#post-97298 Tue, 20 Mar 2012 09:00:05 +0000 TJBee 97298@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When you say "First Month", do you mean the first month after you stopped taking BC (finished your last pack) or the first month after you got your first natural period off BC? </p>
