Hello and welcome to HCM,
Conception will not be possible till you are of birth control pills.
It takes at-least six months for the menstrual cycles to be regular after discontinuing the birth control pills.
It will be difficult to predict ovulation when menstrual cycles are irregular.
However, there are methods to time the ovulation.
Basal body temperature and cervical mucus testing are two tests when combines can time ovulation.
Basal body temperature is monitored by measuring the body temperature daily.
During ovulation there is 0.5 degree fahrenheit increase in body temperature.
For more details you need to consult your gynecologist and you can time your ovulation.
Thanks and take care
