If you are looking for an alternative to the pill whilst you are preparing your body for pregnancy, you might want to try something like the Persona
Contraception Monitor.
Designed to help women gauge when, during their cycle, they have 'safe days' during which to have unprotected sex, it can also therefore tell you
days when having unprotected sex is more likely to get you pregnant, which is useful when you do want to conceive.
Made by Unipath, it is best suited to women who have a cycle between 23 and
35 days in length and it works by monitoring the hormone levels in your urine.
Many women who are thinking of having children prefer to come off the pill some time before they start trying to conceive, so they can 'clear their system'. Sometimes you
don't need to leave any gap between taking the pill and trying to get pregnant, but every person is different and experiences vary greatly.
