You might want to start the prenatal vitamins and track your ovulation.  Be sure to have sex right before and when you ovulate.

Good luck! :)

i also read taking prenatal vitamins will help.  and even if it doesnt its a good idea to take them when ttc.  because that way you're preparing your body nutritionally for a baby.  i've also been looking around that it may help hormones get in order which in turn might help ovulation.  have you tried ovulation kits (opks).  if you have a dollar store in your area it might be a good idea to try if you have not.  and if you need someone to talk to i'm here.

Yes I have spoken to my doctor and she just told me that everything checks out good it just could take time and patience since I was on bc for so many year's. Just wanted to see if anyone had any suggestions that I could do differently cause I also heard taking prenatal vitamins could help but didn't know if that was true.

Have you gotten a period since you got off of bc?  


From my personal experience i went a year and 4 months after getting off bc.  My system has been messed up since being on bc and has made it hard to conceive, even when i had periods again.
