Mini Pill?

I've been taking the mini-pill since my daughter was 6 weeks old (she's 2 years now). My husband and I are thinking about #2. Does anyone have any advice on when I should stop taking the pill? I've been doing some reading and the answers vary from "you'll be fertile 24 hours after taking your last pill" to "it could take a few months for your fertility to return". I know that everyone is different, but I was just wondering if anyone had any first hand experience or advice. Thanks!

For some women, the mini pill completely stops them from ovulating. For others, they continue having regular periods while taking it. If you are ovulating and having regular periods now, then you should probably consider yourself fertile immediately after stopping. If you're not ovulating at all, then it could take a little longer.
