Well I am really glad that I stumbled on the Journal feature. This is exactly what I needed. I need to empty my busy mind onto the screen - and maybe even get some much needed support.

Been on the same BCP for almost 13 years, so of course I am scared. But so ready to get on the wagon. I didn't think that I felt the need for a child - thought that my life was complete already with my loving hubbie. But its turned into a ache. I do need to make it happen.

My last BCP is on Thursday and I am reluctant about that too. Not sure what my body will think about this. I have no idea how my body will react to this. I plan to keep a record of my period, I do hope that it doesn't take too long to get back into a regular scheduled period. My doctor said that it takes some women a month and others 8 months. So he wasn't really that much help, ha.

I did go for a walk today and tried to get some exercise. I do want to get into better shape prior to this journey. I am not in terrible shape, but I do want it to be a positive experience.

Looking forward to starting things. Thanks for all advice, help, and encouragement - past and yet to come.

Good luck

Good luck honey, I'm sure your last bcp and period coming off it will be fine, just give your body plenty of time to adjust to the change/lack of synthetic hormones etc.
When I came off I had a 60 day cycle so don't be worried if similar happens, just go with the flow for a few months and your body will re-balance itself.

Generally women O between CD14-20 ish, so If your keen to start 'trying' asap maybe get some ov sticks and you'll be able to pinpoint the best 'time' to get down to the

Lots and lots of and I hope your TTC journey is short and sweet

Had a chat tonight with dear husband and talked alot about TTC. His thoughts are "wouldn't it be cool to give the great news to the parents as a Christmas gift?" - of course it would be cool - but wouldn't it be nice to know if I am going to have a normal period first? Wouldn't it be nice to know that his little work first? Ha. I do believe that hubby thinks that you can just flip a switch when you are ready for a baby. I do love him.

Hey Apple Seed,

Just read your last post, it really made me smile and reminded me of my dearest OH.

We discussed me getting off the BCP 12 months ago, and he forgot. Only to look at me all eyes wide open and shocked five months later when he asked me again to come off it, and I said I had. First question? "Well, why aren't we PG?"
OMG, he thought the switch flipped and babies popped out. They really don't seem to undertand the intracacies involved, and even then you only get a small window of opportunity. They can get a man into orbit, but getting them to understand the female cycle...another challenge entirely!!

Good luck girl and welcome to the fabulous world of BnB

Oh you guys I do believe that I married the most wonderful man. My last BC pill was yesterday - he walks in from work with a huge bouquet of flowers and says "This is to start a new chapter in our lives-I just want you to know that I am excited and that I am ready for this..." Oh my gosh you guys, I cried. It was just pure happiness.

Wow...you lucky lucky lady.


Sounds amazing, good luck with your journey
