Just come off pill

Lydia
So I've just finished my last pack of cilest after being on the pill for about 10 years or more. I can't wait to start trying for a baby but with my job I'm not eligible for full mat leave until I've been employed with them for a year. So we can't really start trying until February/March. I know this isn't far away but it's still all I think about.
I've come off the pill at this point to try and let my body get back to its normal cycle. does anyone have any suggestions on how to prepare? Should I start taking folic acid now/soon?
