Hi,
I was in your same boat, as many woman are. I know it's frustrating when all we hear is how to prevent a pregnancy...and we think that the second we stop birth control, we should instantly conceive! It took us 6 months, and I was absolutely astonished each month I got my period. I was also frustrated, sad and tired of "trying".
Experts tell women to have frequent, unprotected sex (every-other day is the ideal, but not usually plausible) whenever you can, regardless of the timing of your cycle. Have fun with it, know it is a process and can take up to 12 months to conceive---even without any infertility conditions.
