The world doesn't need more pitts, have her fixed. I have nothing against the breed, but it's all I see at my local animal shelter and it's very sad because no one will adopt them.
Please have your animal spayed.

If you know the date when she 1st had a bloody show, count forward 12 days. this is the optimum day to start breeding. Allow the pair to "tie" once or twice daily for a total of 3 days. Dogs are 9 days coming into heat, 9 days in & 9 days going out. Gestation is 63 days (9 wks). Begin checking her temp twice daily on the 56th day. When her temp drops 1 degree from her normal temp (usually 100-101 degrees), she will whelp within the next 24 hrs. If this is her 1st litter you should be with her throughout the whelping process as she is inexperienced & will be a bit confused until she gets the hang of it. Good luck!

Please don't breed her. There is too much responsibility and you apparently don't have the slightest clue about breeding at all. Don't do it... Have her spayed. By breeding her you could easily rack up a huge vet bill and risk her life as well. There are so many unwanted animals out there. Are you going to be willing to accept responsibility for these puppies for the REST OF THEIR LIVES????
Also, you apparently know so little, that you just made up a breed name for your dog... There is no such thing as a "Stafford Pitbull".
There are:
American Pit Bull Terriers
Staffordshire Bull Terriers
American Staffordshire Terriers

Ready for breeding between the !0th and 14th day of their heat cycle which last up to 21 days. The gestation period is 63 days. Sooner or later.

if you are not sure about the proper way to breed maybe it isnt a good idea that you do it? Anyways every dog is a bit different..my boxers seem to take on the 12th or 13th day after the first sign of blood and my pugs seem to take on the 14th - 15th day. Something to keep in mind about breeding...the best breeders are showing their dogs...breeding with pedigree in mind...and breeding to improve the breed. If you have a purbred registered female and you have a good match-purbred registered male that you think would make exceptional puppies good luck with it

depends on how old she is but i would say maybe 1 1/2 to 2 years old. usually takes 5 to 6 days.
if you want to breed here be prepared for the responsibility....
here are some of the best websites i can suggest to look at and prepare:

but my opinon is get her spayed after this heat cycle because if you live in an area with other dogs they might be hopping the fence....(the 'heat smell' can travel up to 2 miles so it attracts male{non-nuetered} dogs)

once the bleeding stops, but usually around 9-13 days after the first day of bleeding. There is a progesterine test the vet can give to tell if she is at her peak to get pregnant, its usually only around 2-3 days she can even become pregnant.

If the dog is not a purebred, is not from a reputable breeder, does not a pedigree that goes back 5 generations, does not have an OFA cert.,and if your pitty has genetic problems, etc. etc.
Do not breed. You are to BETTER the breed, do not be greedy.
If your dog doesn't qualify do not breed your dog, get it fixed.

The week after she stops bleeding is her fertile week. Make several breeding attempts that week. You will also know because she should be accepting of the male to mate with her.

When they are in heat is when you want to bred them so you could try now or wait until the next heat cycle. When I bred my horse we tracked her heat cycles for a few months to make sure we could time dropping her off at the stud correctly.
