What are my chances in conceiving this month?

Question

I came off the pill in February here is a list of my cycle lengths

26, 34, 38, 34, 28... last month I noticed that I ovulated between 14 and 16 days into my cycle and the same the month before!

I started my cycle on monday so a rough estimate would be that I should ovulate a week tomorrow

the only problem we have is that my boyfriend is working away at the moment and I am going up to see him at the weekend... Will it be too soon or too late to baby dance? I had my first really painful period since being off the pill so i'm hoping that this is a good sign!! We haven't been using protection since I came off the pill but we haven't really had that much s*x to give us the chance to conceive and we weren't trying!

Any good advice?

Hi,

It's common to go many months without conceiving.  Instead of turning s*x into about making babies, just try to have s*x as often as possible.  Guys can feel under pressure if they feel they have to perform at specific times and may feel they are only wanted for s*x so as to father a child so try to avoid that by ensuring you and your partner have plenty of s*x and not just when you are ovulating!  Sometimes it can take your body quite a while to get back to normal after coming off the pill so I think you just need to be patient.
