Mini Pill and Fertility Q

I was on the mini pill Camilla from when my daughter was 6 weeks until 8 days ago (about 9.5 months total). My AF returned 3.5 months ago and was monthly with my last AF beginning 10/31 and lasting until 11/4 (it was extremely light for the last 2 days). This was about 11 days earlier than it normally comes, but I have had a window of about 3-5 days for AF starting. 

 I decided to go off of the mini pill and stopped taking it on 11/3. I am wondering how quickly normal fertility will return. I know the pill packet said immediately, but I have read that some women's cycles did not return to normal for 3 or more months. I am wondering if this is true since I have had AF regularly for the last 4 cycles? Should AF be due around the same time?

 I'm wondering because DH and I had an oops and if my cycle is normal then I am pretty close to ovulating.

    It all depends on the person.  I was KU 4 cycles after stopping bc.  But the only way you can know for sure when you are ovulating is if you are temping and charting.  If you are not, then I suggest checking out fertilityfriend.com  They have great tutorials and information on charting and tracking your fertility.  They have online charts that are super easy to use.  Gl!

    This is my first cycle off of the mini pill and it is lasting longer than usual. I'm not sure if I can blame it on the pill though. I am still bfing 4-6 times per day and this is only my second cycle pp (baby just turned 1). So, I don't know if it's the pill that has me out of whack or the fact that I'm still bfing pretty frequently.

    Thanks. I am familiar with charting. I've read Taking Charge of Your Fertility and was successfully charting before we got pregnant with our daughter. I just haven't started again. Mainly because I am just a little too lazy to wake up at 5a every day to temp. I just need to get back into the swing of it.
