toss the pill or take the last 24 days?

dh and I have been planning to ttc our next a bit based both on dd's age & how long I've been at my job.  If I'm there for a certain period of time which I will be in the begining/middle of July then I'll have more of my income covered during std.  Well based on those 2 factors we're safe to start ttc now (according to fertility website mymonthlycycles.com if we got pg tomorrow which won't happen, baby would be due mid Aug) so even if for some reason baby came a bit early we should be okay.  If we wait till my pills are gone and got pg right away baby would be due at the begining of September.  I know this is a personal decision, but if you were in the same situation would you just toss the rest of your pills or finish the current pack & toss the rest or finish all of them?

  • I would toss them now and start grooving.

    Good luck!

  • I'd stop taking them now if you're ready to TTC.  That said, know that you will likely get AF again soon.  I took only the first three pills of a pack in May and then stopped (due to a cancelled IVF cycle) and I got AF a few days after I stopped (even though I'd just had AF a week or so prior).  Good luck to you.

  • finish the current pack. Stopping mid cycle like that make your next cycle wacky.

  • Depends on if I was ready to start AF.  If it doesn't matter to you when you start then stop taking them mid cycle now.  Otherwise, I'd just finish the pack and see what happens!  Either way, GL!!

  • I'd be worried about stopping mid-cycle really messing with my cycle, so I'd finish the pack, then start TTC. GL!
