The above statement is a myth that started shortly after the pill was first released and little was known about it. It was rapidly shown that this was not true, but these things always get promulgated and persist forever. There is great variation from one woman to the next as to when the first post pill ovulation will occur. Usually , it will occur between 2 and 6 weeks after the last pill is taken.
