Periods aren't the goal, ovulation is. Using estrogen or birth control pills may or may not kick you into ovulatory cycles. Being patient and waiting is reall the best thing,but if you're getting older (35+) or you just can't wait for Mom Nature to do her thing, talk to your doctor about Clomid to induce ovulation.
