Understanding Ovulation After Contraceptive Use: A Personal Story


Question
I got married in Dec 2004. I had my periods on Nov 15 , 2004 and went to a obgyn for postponing my periods as they would clash with my honeymoon. She put me on Diane 35 (contraceptive pill) which I consumed from Nov 16 , 2004 to Dec 18, 2004.
I got my periods on Dec23, 2004, then on Jan 18, 2005, Feb 13, 2005 .
I never had diane 35 after Dec 31st 2004.
I have been actively trying to conceive since Jan 26 , 2005.I even followed the ovulation method in the feb month to no result. My last LMP was March 15.
I want to know if my cycle this time arnd was 31days(from the first day of period to the next month first day of period)what is my accurate cycle. Could it bet I had a shorter cycle in the earlier months due to the pill?
When do you Think I would ovulate this time arnd and pls let me know the dates for intercourse
Thanks"


Answer
It appears that your cycle is 26 days (from the first day of your period until the first day of your next period) and you ovulate around cycle day #12-14. If your last period started on March 15, then your most fertile days are March 26,27,28, and 29. Try concentrating on having intercourse on those days.
