Bbt questions-any advice helps

Hey ladies. I have a few questions that hopefully anyone can help me with. First I want to give a little bit of background that way you don't think I'm crazy when I ask them. :)

Ok here goes..

I am currently on birth control (I know I know, why are you on birth control if you want a child?) and I want to start bbt. I am on birth control because my fiancé and I aren't married yet. We both want children but we don't want to end up pregnant in the middle of planning a destination wedding. (Sounds crazy in a sense but we have thought it out a lot) we aren't getting married until Jan of next year. Our destination wedding includes a plane ride and other things that being pregnant isn't really the best option for. If I were to stop taking birth control now and by some miracle get pregnant very quickly, we would have a newborn right before all of this takes place- which would be hectic but ok with me. But if I were to conceive later on I could even be 'about to pop' when the wedding is supposed to happen. And I don't want to travel like that in my last trimester or risk being in a 'strange' place having my child without my doctors etc. It's a crazy situation, I know. But I want to start charting bbt and other things so that I can get to know my body.

Now for my questions..

Is there any point in charting bbt while on bc?

Is there any point in charting anything(cervical position, cm, etc) while on bc?

Does bc effect how these things are during my cycle?

What should I do? Start charting and see what happens or wait til I'm off bc?

Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thank you all in advance.

Also if you have advice for me about anything that I haven't asked please share it with me. I'm all ears ladies :)
