Marriage is NOT needed in any way for a baby to grow up healthy.
It is ideal they have 1 mother and 1 father and plenty of money, love and support. But some of the greatest men and women in history were from poor families and families that deviated from the ideal.
It may be trying at times, but you CAN be a single mother and still raise a good family.
So don't listen to the propaganda uttered by the church-goer below and do what your heart tells you.
On topic though, once you stop taking the pill you run the risk of pregnancy. It may be a smaller risk than usual for a few months, but life is a fickle thing and can certainly surprise you in how tenacious it can be in it survival mode.
Best of luck.

Children need a secure "home life" to grow up in.If you and your partner have a baby together, and he decides not to stick with you, (you never know,) then you will be a single parent raising a child. Not fun. You will struggle paying the bills. You may also struggle having to pay for a baby sitter while you have to work, possibly putting the child in harms way, because there are a lot of sick people out there who may physically or sexually abuse your child. Scary.Keep up to date with taking your pills. Lay the foundation of a safe, secure, committed homelife by getting married. Think of the possibilities of what the future may hold.Take care and good luck.

That doesn't mean you can't get pregnant earlier (that's how "oops"es happen), but I believe docs usually say wait a little, let the hormone clear out.Anyway, my best advice would be that you go to a OB-GYN and see what he or she says about it. Good luck!!
