When I came off the pill I started charting about half way through my first cycle. Didnt really help with anything as I had a short cycle of 18 days but it got me into a routine of temping and charting.
Good luck. I hope your TTC journey is short lived  ------------- Our Angel July 08  Gone but not forgotten

I'm still waiting after coming off the pill and the first day of last AF was 16th August. Althought, I have another issue which is, after last AF, I went back on the pill for 3 days, and on the 3rd day we decided to start ttc. Then I had a little bleed totally unlike AF that lasted a couple of days after that. So now I don't know which to go by for when my next one is due! It seems to be different for everyone so unfortunately just have to play the waiting game 
Good luck! I feel your pain! -------------

Yep you can, you will ovulate 2 weeks (roughly) before your AF turns up, so if you were doing the deed you could very well be up the duff. -------------

| My first cycle was 44 days and my second 57 days, it does make it harder but not much I can do about it, just hope it will settle down in due course. |

I would take a test just to be sure, as it's perfectly possible that you could have concieved. In actual fact the instances of twins after coming of the pill are higher than women that haven't been on it as your body can pump out a few extra eggies when getting back to normal.
If not pg then hang in there, i'm sure it will arrive soon.
I was one of the lucky ones and my cycle stayed at 28 days which I was surprised about because pre pill it was never shorter than 34 days.  -------------

ok im back still no sign of AF. Not a chance that we would be Pregers.
So I was suppose to be fertile today s0- would this still happen even if i didnt get af? |

Im confused with your question. Do you mean if you can still be fertile even though you dont have AF yet??
