Barrier methods. You can get pregnant the next time you have sex when you stop using any barrier method. Barrier methods include the diaphragm, cervical cap, male condom, female condom, and spermicidal foam, sponge, gel, suppository, and film.
Combination hormonal methods. These methods include pills, skin patches, and rings. They contain both estrogen and progestin synthetic progesterone. You can get pregnant right away after stopping regular-dose or low-dose hormonal birth control. About half of women get pregnant in the first 3 months after stopping the Pill, and most women get pregnant within 12 months after stopping the Pill.

While your body adjusts to the new pregnancy, you may also find yourself growing tired more easily or more quickly. Implementation bleeding , which happens when a fertilized egg attaches to your uterus, can be mistaken for a period.
This is especially true if your period is typically very light. This means going off of the birth control pill and beginning to take a daily prenatal vitamin with at least micrograms of folic acid. You may also worry that taking birth control pills could have harmed your developing baby.
