The only way for you to know if you are ovulating is to take your basal body temp each morn, same time and before you get up. You should see a pattern in temps that leads up to and after ovulation. You can get the basal thermometer at Wal-Mart for about 8 dollars. I use a wonderful FREE website called Fertilityfriend.com...it graphs your temps for you, keeps track of your fertility signs, tells you when you ovulate and also tells you if there is an implantation dip in your temps. You can also use Ovulation prediction kits, but they only measure your LH surge and give you a ball park time for ovulation...they do not pin point it. Oh, and it is possible to be ovulating while you do not have your period, just like it is possible to have a period and not ovulate.

Why are you taking the Pill if you want to get pregnant? This is not a good idea. I would think the hormones could harm the baby if you were still taking it before you realized you were pregnant. Also, at least please take a supplement containing folic acid or you risk conceiving a baby with spina bifida. Sorry to lecture you, but I really believe in having one's ducks in a row before attempting to get pregnant and you seem to be rather casual about a major life decision.

You may experience lower abdominal discomfort, a slight rise in body temperature, and changes in cervical mucus during ovulation. Prior to ovulation, your cervical mucus is cloudy and thicker, and a few days before ovulation it becomes clear, slippery, and stretchy like raw egg whites. Immediately following ovulation, your body temperature can increase by 0.4 to 1.0 degrees Fahrenheit. About 20% of women feel discomfort or pain in their lower abdomen as the egg leaves the ovary. This condition is known as 'mittelschmerz', and it usually lasts from a few minutes to several hours.

its like a tingle or cramps and so watch out for a change in your mucous to know for sure and skipping pills is a bad idea, trust me i tried it. It sounds to me like you have a condition where birth control regulates your periods (i have it its called PCOS) in that case go to your doctor see if he can prescribe a drug, or if your not in to all of that, go the herbal route. I have been taking VITEX and so far i think it might be working so good luck to you IM me anytime if you want to know more
