Detailed Answer:
HI, thanks for using healthcare magia

Yes, they can be used as a contraceptive to prevent pregnancy.

No there is no risk in conceiving the first month or even week after discontinuation of birth control.Most women who are actively trying to conceive, conceive within the first 3 months.

Some women may conceive accidentally while on contraception though this usually occurs if it is not used properly.

I hope this helps, feel free to ask any other questions
