No. For the overwhelming majority of people the pill does not help or hinder pregnancy after it's stopped. For a very few of us, it can actually help normalize abnormal hormone levels, so we're more likely to get pregnant after stopping the pill. That's pretty rare.
>Also, generally speaking,how many days after the first day of your You generally ovulate about 14 days *before* the first day of your *next* period. If your periods are regular, you can then calculate the answer to your question based on your own cycle length. I highly recommend "Taking Charge of Your Fertility" by Weschler for more information about when you're fertile, etc. This book is probably available through interlibrary loan, if not at your own library. Also, I recommend a preconception visit with your gynecological health care provider to review immunization history, lab work, and an exam, if necessary. Feel free to write again if you have further questions.
