My surprise baby has been the best thing that ever happened to me - I know I've posted this a million times - but it cannot be said enough and I still tear up when I talk about it. He's always made every transition so easy on us, and I am so in love with being his mother.
I have a very good friend who lives in Houston and she has two little girls. If you'd like, I can get her to PM you about doctors. She posts on H&F some here.
I mean really!! It was so terrifying getting pregnant accidentally (TCOYF MY ASS!!!!) but she has made our world so wonderful and sweet. Life is more challenging as a parent but life is also so much better with her here.
God damn I'm a fucking hallmark card. Fucking parenthood.
We were more of a combination lazy/oops, to be fair. The odds of this all happening (perfect cycles a few months after getting off the pill you'd been on for over 10 years, sex one day too soon, my being 30, etc.) were against anything happening, but we still knew there was a chance.
Shut it. That's not too far from my situation. H would be thrilled

Same here! I just got off the pill last month shortly after turning 30 and after reading TCOYF, I'm already back to normal even though I was on the pill for 10 years. Definitely not relying on just TCOYF for fear of an oops!

Aren't most of the oops around here due to lazy?
I like to call it "sloppy TCOYF + Martini and porn night" conception.

I am apparently the most fertile person on earth. A was conceived like 4 or 5 days before ovulation, which means he should definitely have been a girl if possible at all. My cycles didn't skip a beat when I went off bcps. And they came back at 3.5 mos pp even though I was EBF, still feeding at night. I've now had three cycles (a little longer than usual; the first two were probably anovulatory, most definitely not this last one).
How we managed to go 10 years w/o a scare, a good three or four of those w/o bcp, I will never know.
I think the book WTEWYE has been handy. I haven't read it cover-to-cover but I didn't know what was safe to eat or where to wear my seatbelt now that my bump is big.

I had a friend like this as well (though I always question the exact ovulation day for most)...she missed one pill at her normal time (took it later) and the other was the cycle they took her off of BCP AND they used a condom. Seriously, the no longer look at each other.
Yes! Running out of pills in August, and then we're just going to see how things go. I am SO excited. I kind of want to stop now, but since I'm a teacher, I really want to attempt to deliver in May/June of 2013. Of course I know it doesn't always go that way!
