Ovulation predictor tests / ovulation predictor kits can help you identify the time that you are ovulating; or you can try measuring basal temperature. Ovulation predictor tests should be done every day. Several hours BEFORE ovulation, the test will become positive (a line darker than the control line shows up on the test strip). similarly, basal temperature should be measured every day in the morning. The body temperature rises slightly several hours AFTER ovulation.

Furthermore, before trying to get pregnant you should consult your gynecologist and stop taking any birth control pills.
