Hi Renstar
if you go to Conception TTC Buddies, there is a preconception chatter thread.
Re coming off the pill - When i first came off the pill - i wasn't charting or anything and it took me 8 months to get pregnant.2nd time around- i was breastfeeding, and this time i had been on the pill for 3 years and it took me 5 months to fall pregnant. My cycles were pretty regular straight away though.
good luck!
