How long did it take you to ovulate after coming off the pill? I came off the pill in November after a year and I am still not ovulating. Is there anything I can do to get my eggs going?

may b u need to see the reproductive endocrinologist, she can perform some tests and may be can find out the reason why u r not ovulating. sometimes we need to take a jump start.. like
Clomiphene citrate (Clomid) stimulates the release of hormones that trigger ovulation. Clomiphene is typically the first choice of treatment for unexplained lack of ovulation because of its ease of use-it's taken orally rather than injected, doesn't usually cause severe side effects, and doesn't usually require daily monitoring.
If clomiphene does not work, your doctor might try hormone shots. These shots, called gonadotropins. include Pregnyl, Pergonal, Gonal F, and rFSH. They directly stimulate the ovaries to produce mature eggs.
If you have polycystic ovary syndrome, your doctor may try a medication called metformin in combination with clomiphene. It can help correct insulin resistance and elevated male hormone levels, often starting egg production and regular menstrual cycles.
But 1st u need to know the actual reason behind not ovulating.
Best Of Luck:)

Some people begin ovulating almost immediately after coming off the pill. Others can take several months, sometimes as long as six months before menstrual cycles return to normal. (It took me about four months to ovulate after coming off the pill, actually.) It really just takes time to allow your hormones to wake up again after being supressed on the pill. Chart your cycles, or use ovulation predictor kits (available from most drugstores with the pregnancy tests) and see what's going on for you. If you're not ovulating on your own after about six months, that's a good time to talk to your health care provider about whether it's time to investigate other causes of anovulation like thryroid concerns, or polycystic ovarian syndrome or other issues, or whether the doctor thinks it's wise to just give it a little more time.
Be patient, and good luck.

How do you know you're not ovulating? I recommend using a fertility monitor or disposable fertility sticks to be sure. It should only take about 3 months for the pill to exit your system. Ask your OB/Gyne about clomid, that can jump start your ovulation.

Talk with your doctor. They can use medication, if need be.
