Keep trying! It can take a year or more after you go off the pill to conceive. In the meantime have fun trying to make a baby. I wouldn't worry just yet, wait it out, it'll happen for you.

Me too!!!!! Not a lot you can do.
Try and suss out when you are ovulating. Which should be 14 days before your period. (Having regular periods also helps in this!).
Try taking your temperature every morning. This should rise around ovulation and then stay the same until you are next due to have your period.
Try investing in ovulation kits, theres one called first response, you get 5 sticks in which you pee on (like a preg test) These indicate when you are about to ovulate by the LH hormone.
There is a guide to explain when the best time is to start testing depending on the lenght of your cycle. Get them for £20 from boots, or you can by them over the internet. You also get a preg test incl.
It takes up to a year for fertile couples to become pregnant. If you don't become preg within a year, then take a trip to the doct. If you are worried now, theres no harm going to the docts now, however docts may like to wait until that year is up.
Be patient it'll come your way. It's hard I know, and it's horrible, but there's not much else that can be done.
Good luck x

You should try to use the ovulation prediction sticks ( they sell them at wal-greens) these will help to maximize your chances of getting pregnant. you can also try charting your basal body temp ( temp when you first wake up) to see when you ovulate. If you have done these, its okay, don't worry, about 50% of people get pregnant a 2-3 months after leaving the pill and 80% of them get pregnant within a year. so its highly likely that you will get pregnant at the end of the year.

I tried for almost 8 yrs. We had all the testing done and used the ovulation kits and so forth. And lo and behold just when we gave up I got pregnant. 13yrs 1 month and 15 days after I had my daughter, I gave birth to my son
And as much as your going to hate hearing this because I did "its just not the right time"

You need to see a doctor.
As far as I know when you have been on birth control for a while then you stop it is still in your system for a while.
