Heres all I have read! Womens cycles vary in leagnth. The part that usually stays the same is called the Leutal phase, which is the part of your cycle AFTER you ovulate until your period begins. This Leutal phase is almost always 12-16 days. Mine is exactly 14 days. This part of your cycle should remain the same. Its the firts part of your cycle (i forget that name), which starts the first day you bleed until you ovulate that can vary.
It will be a bit tough for you at first to know how long you cycle is, since you've been on the pill for a while. Where you periods regular before you started the pill?? If you have a 27-30 day cycle you should be most fertile starting about May 8 through about May 15. Check out http://www.ivillage.com/topics/pregbaby/0,,166245,00.html
What I'm doing is using the home ovulation test kits. You pee on a stick and it tells you when you have a surge of a hormone, the LH hormone, which triggers the release of the egg. When you get a positive result, you should ovulate in 12-24 hours. From all the stuff I have been reading you are actually more likely to pregnant if you have sex a few days BEFORE you ovulate and on the day you ovulate.
Example. I have a 30 day cycle. The first day of my last period was March 30, which means I should ovulate April 15, this Thursday. So I had sex Sunday, will have sex tonight and probably everyday till the end of the week. I'm still using the ovulation tests to be sure, so if I don't get a poistive reading by Thurday than I will know to keep testing and having sex until I do!
Now some people say you shouldn't have sex EVERYDAY, especially if your man has a low sperm count. Some say everyother day is good enough. But I'm EXACTLY like you in that I WANT A BABY NNOOWW!!! Be sure to stay laying down for at least 20 minutes with a small pillow under you hips to help the sperm get were they need to go!! 
If my link didn't work type in "trying to concieve" in your goggle search engine and it will pull up lots of info! Good luck!
