Hi Sammie and Welcome to BnB!

How long are your cycles and are they regular? One of the first ways to estimate ovulation is to cut your cycles in half. So a 28 day cycle would mean O'ing day 14.

You can also buy some ovulation predictor kits which is a pee on a stick type deal to tell you if you're about to ovulate.

So if you can time sex with O'ing that is a start.

Remember that you can have sex before O'ing and still get pregnant because the sperm can live for up to 72hrs.

Good luck and fire away with any questions you have!

And i'm sorry about your last pregnancy and tube removal hun

hi and welcome! sorry about the eptopic that must have been hard! A you were only one the pill for a couple of months your body might regulate quite quickly! I was on the pill for nearly 8 years, this is my 4th cycle off the pill and my 3rd month on ttc. Some doctors think you should wait 1-3 months afetr coming of the pill before ttc others say you dont need to wait at all so i let myself have one cycle off the pill befor starting.

I got af (aunt flow/period) right on time after coming off the pill but despite that my cycles have been from 24-33 days since coming off it. I got bloods done last month and i am ovulating...so the point is you might not be ovulating half way through your cycle, especially after coming off the pill. Im ovulating about 3-4 days after af finishes so you might be the same so i would recommend buting some cheap ovultion tests online.

As you had a tube removed im not sure how that will work, i know we have plenty of eggs, im not sure if you will release an egg from your tube evry month (like your body will know to) or if it will be random. Some people at times release more than one egg per month but i know it tends to be random in people with both tubes whether the egg is released from the left or right tube. I think ovulation tests would be a great help for you! Plus your young and youve been able to get pregnant before so you sound pretty fertile. You should also buy some folic acid! Good luck!!
