How long after stopping long-acting birth control pills can you get pregnant?

Patient's question:

Hello doctor, before I got married with my boyfriend, I was taking long-acting birth control pills. But last month, we got married and are planning to have a child, so how long should I stop taking the long-acting birth control pills to get pregnant?

Doctor's answer:

It is recommended that you can conceive after stopping medication with a delay of more than 3 months. So, there is no need to worry. It is suggested to check your usual menstrual cycle, but it is also recommended to avoid overtime work, and pay attention to reducing the intake of cold and irritating foods. After stopping medication, it is advisable to closely monitor your menstrual cycle and consider switching to a new short-acting contraceptive method. Blindly stopping medication may lead to a recurrence of menstrual disorders. Wishing you good health.
