Well, no. There are a lot of other factors to gestation besides date of conception. Health of the mother, health of the baby, stress levels of the mother, genetic history, etc. (Drugs, including alcohol and tobacco, are likely to cause premature babies, for example.) Even if the cycle of every single woman on Earth were synchronized, doctors and midwives would still be awakened in the middle of the night all month long.
And, yes, it can take time after going off birth control to get pregnant. Any clinician at Planned Parenthood could tell you that.
