Hi, i have recently come off the injection to try for a baby, i got told that it could take at least a year before i can concieve is this true? can it happen within that year? iv been off it for 5 months now but getting very impatient!!

It is often the case that when you come off the injection (or the pill having been on it for a substantial time) it takes a while for your body to readjust itself to its own cycles. As such it takes time to get pregnant. However as far as im aware this is not an absolute! Just as it is possible for someone to get pregnant on the pill/injection, some people can get pregnant fairly quickly after stopping the contraception. Good luck!

Hi wduk2005 - I don't mean to be personal but I too am trying for a baby and was just wondering if you're having enough sex? Fertility experts often advise having more sex than you would have previously done before you stared trying. And I know it's not very helpful, but 5 months isn't very long to be trying so keep at it!

Try looking on www.babyworld.co.uk or www.babycentre.co.uk where they have ovulation calculators where you can work out the best time to conceive.

Good luck!
