Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

As per your history, still you are taking contraceptive pills, there are 10 to 20% chances of pregnancy. So you can take extra protection like condoms. If you missed period then do UPT and ultrasound abdomen to rule of pregnancy. After stopping pills, to become pregnant it generally takes 4 to 6 months. Take care.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Shyam B. Kale
