in Trying to Get Pregnant

What a surprise to find someone in the same boat as I am haha.  I haven't started to chart yet.  I did download an ovulation calendar app for my iPhone, and am going to get some prenatal vitamins and ovulation kits today to see what's happening. I've heard it can take a while to adjust after going off bcp's.  I had some light spotting 3 days after stopping the pill but since then nothing but upset stomach, bloating and gas (good times).  I figure I won't get really hot and heavy into charting or anything until we've been trying for about 6 months and if nothing has happened then, I'll start.

 Hopefully you'll start feeling well soon too - and hopefully we both recover from the pills soon and get a BFP within the next few months!

    Welcome and G/L! The reason I started charting is just so I had and idea when I O'd, or if I am. It really doesn't take up that much of your time and I recommend it coming off BCP just because your period can be wacky. I remember my first cycle (only 37 days which is not long by many standards) I was freaking a bit, but now that I am charting & what not I personally feel more relaxed and less stessed. Its just kinda nice to know whats going on... just my opinion!

     

    Good Luck to you again!

    Hi!

    Did you read TCOYF? I read it before stopping the pills and it is fascinating! Get rid of those ovulation calendars, they don't work! I suggest starting to chart right away so you can understand what is going on with your body. Especially now since it's probably going to be wacky for a while since stopping the pills.

    I had pretty heavy bleeding all week and seems to have lightened up today. Other than that... feeling pretty normal right now :) I'm hoping no other crazy side effects and I'll be back to normal soon!

    We actually decided to hold off on TTC for a few more months, but GOOD LUCK to you and I hope you get your BFP soon!
