DH and I have decided to TTC beginning in January. I am going to stop taking BC the end of December. I already spoke to my doctor at my annual in June about TTC and she prescribed me prenatals which I've been taking since July. She also told me to get blood work done before TTC, which I am hoping to do sometime this month or early next month. I've also picked up TCOYF, but I've not finished reading it yet. As you can see, I am a big planner!
Any questions?
Hope to get to know other girls going through this process too, I am a little nervous!
I live in New Jersey. I've been married for 2 years and 4 months (but we've been together over 9 years). My favorite ice cream flavor is, well, I love ice cream, but if I had to choose, vanilla chocolate swirl soft ice cream.
If you are stopping BCP at the end of this month you may have some irregular cycles in the new year. If you are charting that will help you figure them at a little bit.
I am hoping they won't be too crazy. I asked my dr. after stopping BC how soon we could TTC and se said right away. I always had regular periods prior to the pill, I am just hoping the pill doesn't change that too much.
I spoke to DH about going off now and he said he'd be okay with it, he is more baby crazy than I am! I think I am going to take this week and decide what I am most comfortable with, but I am seriously considering stopping now.
