WWYD

Alright - been off BCP since May of this year. Me and my husband are going to Jamaica 8/31 for our anniversary. It's our last big trip before TTC in December. My first cycle off BC was 29 days. Second was 35 days (last period started 7/28). Not too big of a variance but clearly there is no pattern to identify when my next period is likely to start.

I don't want my period in Jamaica. I want to have a lot of sex and don't want to do it in a small - albeit nice - shower. I want to have sex in the bed, on the couch, in the Jacuzzi, on the floor, etc. Since I have no clue when my period might start, I'm toying with the idea of temporarily going back on BCP. Side question - Is it bad to start BC 11 days into my cycle?

I'm torn - I went off BC to give my body some time to adjust, get back into a groove so I would have a better idea of what's going on when the time to TTC arrives. But, given this is the last hurrah, I want to fucking enjoy it. I want to be on the beach in a white bikini and not run to the bathroom every 2 hours to change my tampon. More importantly, I want to bang like a screen door in a hurricane.

So WWYD - temporarily go back on BC or roll with it?

I would lurk the board to see if my question has been asked in the past week. I would also simplify the post and not use so many words. I would also come back on a Tuesday.

I've been lurking for several months and participating for the last few weeks and legitimately never saw this question posted before.

This seems like a really personal decision. Not the kind of thing a bunch of strangers can decide for you.

Unless you can guarantee that restarting BCP will delay your period, I'd take my chances. With the timing it seems like it's inevitable to arrive during your trip. Hope you guys get to fuck like rabbits.
