My husband and I would like to know when the best time to have intercourse would be in order to get pregnant.  We know it should be when I am ovulating but we have heard so many different things from different people.  When do most women ovulate?
With a normal 28 day cycle, ovulation usually occurs 14 days before your period. Ovulation predictor tests, which can be bought over the counter amy help you with this.

  Do we wait until my temperature is the lowest?
Acyually I think it is the opposite and your temps elevate with ovulation.
  Should we have intercourse everyday?
Best to time it right around ovulation.
Are my periods going to be normal right after I go off the pill?
Probably not right away. Irregualr periods are normal after coming off the pill, and your body needs time to adjust to the hormone changes.
  When is the best time to take a home pregnancy test?
The first day your period is late you can usually acurately test with any over the counter home urine test.
