How long after stopping birth control can you get pregnant?

Patient's question:

I used to rely on birth control pills to breastfeed, and now I want to have a baby. How long should I stop taking birth control pills before I can get pregnant?

Doctor's answer:

After stopping the birth control pill, you are waiting for the next menstrual period to arrive. Once it has ended, you can proceed with trying to conceive. This is because birth control pills are only a form of artificial hormones, which only adjust a woman's endocrine system and will never have an impact on trying to conceive or on the fetus. Therefore, there is no need to worry too much. During the pre-pregnancy period, it is important to maintain a good mindset and not to be too tense. Excessive tension is not beneficial for delivery.
