What I mean is I know that I ovulate for some time after being on the pill even though in normal circumstances I don't often ovulate, so would it be safe to go on the pill for say 02 or 03 months and then ttc straight afterwards? Has anyone ever tried this?

Can't see it would be a problem, In fact it sounds like a good idea if you know it makes you ovulate.

Maybe you could just miss the 1st month after coming off. There are plenty of people who wouldn't wait, though.

That's how I conceived. Everyone had given up on me. Nothing else had worked and I'd tried everything. I'd even started the adoption process. Then I went on the pill for three months. I got sick with my thyroid and knew it would be dangerous to attempt to get pregnant then so I went on the pill for another three months. The ovulation pain was unbearable when I stopped the pill and I conceived that first month. the trick is to not have a break for three months and then the hormone surge allows you to ovulate. I hope this works for you.
