Welcome to BB!
Well first off, if you've just come off the pill your cycle might be out of whack for a while so it might be helpful if you chart so you know what you're body is doing...
Hopefully someone more helpful will pop in and give you some advice
Good luck with TTC
It's exciting when you make that decision to TTC. We decided a couple of months ago to start trying for our first. I'm what is considered an 'older' person TTC and I also had been on BCP's for 18 years. I waited 1 month before TTC and in that month I changed my diet and cut out (I'm a little fanatical) all alcohol and coffee and started to take Folic Acid (very important). I wanted to give my 'old body' the best chance of TTC quickly.
My DP has also limited his alcohol intake and the steaming hot baths that he used to take every night. (Alcohol changes the makeup of sperm and raising body temps to over 38 degrees C is harmful to sperm).
As Nella said it's also worthwhile charting your temps each day. I also invested in an OPK (Ovulation Predictor Kit) to give myself every chance of getting it right.
This is my 2nd month TTC but my first month after making all the above changes.
With DD I went off of the pill and got my period once, then we started BD every couple of days until we got a BFP the following month, hopefully you have the same luck.
I suggest that you begin charting if you want to give it the best chance, google fertility friend, this is where you can chart your cycles. I have not needed to chart as yet so I do not know alot about it, but there are alot of ladies that know all the ins and outs if you want to know more I am sure there will be someone happy to help.
Otherwise they say that if you BD every second day from the last day of your period up until either your next period or hopefully a BFP.
