    Good Luck! The best advice I can give you is be patient (I know, it's not what you want to hear).

    We went through the same thing when I went off the pill, we were so ready to have a baby and just wanted it to happen straight away. But it can take some time for your body to adjust, get a normal cycle going and ovulate properly. In the end we got pregnant in our fifth month of trying. At the time is seemed to take for ever, and every month that negative preg test was devastating.

    But I do think the best thing you can do is not focus on it too much (sounds impossible I know) and not worry too much. We've had friends who didn't get pregnant for 12 months after going off the pill and then others who got preg the first month - everybody is different.

    However, I do think it really is worth doing some reading and educating yourself on conception. There is basically only one 24 hour period in each cycle when you can get pregnant, so getting to know your cycle and when you are likely to be ovulating etc does increase your chances.

    Good luck with it all!

    :yeahthat: I'll also put in a big plug for charting your cycle. Even if you're not trying, it's just really nice to be so in tune with your body that you know exactly what's going on. It involves taking your basal body temp every day of your cycle as well as noting other changes in your body. Sites like fertility friend will help you to interpret what you find. We used this and did it first go but maybe it was a fluke....
