I was on the pill for 6+ years and just quit taking them in December. My periods were regular in december and january, but in February, my period was/is very late. This is usually caused by the hormonal shift from going off the pill and your dr will most likely put you on a medication to boost the progesterone in your body. AFter that you should be free and clear!
As a general rule, they say it takes about 3 months after going off the pill before you'll be able to conceive. If you have been trying for a year with no results, then its time to see the dr.
To make sure you are ovulating (when the time comes for trying to conceive) use a fertility monitor or ovulation prediction kits. You can also chart your temperature using a basal body thermometer.
Before you start trying, see your doctor for a pre pregnancy screening. The dr will also put you on prenatal vitamins as well.

The pill should help to regulate your periods. Most of the people I know who have gone off birth control to get pregnant have conceived within very few months

Personally I was on the pill for 3 year and had irregular periods and know i just got pregnant while being on the pill.
but talk to your obgyn.
also i would probably stop taking the the pill for a while and use other methods so when you want to get pregnant it might not be hard. good luck!

the pill will help with your period. it will make it regular. having the shot for so long might make your chances of conceiving harder i would think but im not a dr.
