i have been on birth control for almost 8 years now. i am on my last pack of pills, i am in the greens and i am currently on my period. me and my boyfriend of 5 years want to try to have a baby. How long will it take to become pregnant? He is a heavy drinker and recently quit smoking. He has agreed to slow down on his drinking because i have been reading up on everything. We really want to have a baby boy. What can help me get pregnant faster and have more the chance of becomming pregnant with a baby boy? Is there anything i can do to speed up the process?
