Success after IF

God, this is weird!

I start birth control pills Sunday. To prevent pregnancy. So weird!! 

I initially asked my OB what she thought about a diaphragm. She then asked me what I thought about getting pregnant again. Yeah...so BCP it is.

Anyone else feel weird TTA? We haven't used protection in over 4 years!

    I have my 6 week check next week. Since DH Has azoo the only reason I'd use contraception would be to prevent ovulation and save eggs but I am hoping to do IVF again before Nov if allowed. I can imagine it seeming weird though.

  • I can't imagine how weird it must be!!!!

    DH and I have not made a final decision yet but I don't think well be using any birth control after the 6 week mark. We had an amazing 6 months of perfectly timed trying for number 1 and got no where becau

  • I think we might do some kind of permanent birth control after this baby, but it does seem really crazy since I went off the pill in 2006 and never got pregnant on my own.

  • After having a getting pregnant on our own this time, I will definitely use some BC after this baby. We would love a 3rd but I need a little time before I am ready again. It's a hard decision to make because I still wonder what if??

    That was a strange a conversation to have with the OB. I am not doing the pill, too many crazy side effects I don't want. With my 2 maybe 3 periods a year and DH's severe MFI, we don't have much of a chance anyway. I did tell him this morning no

    It was weird when my Dr brought up birth control. I actually looked at my Mom, who was there to help me with DS, and laughed. My Dr totally understood and pretty much told me to be careful and recommended waiting a year after a c/s. I'm not on birth co

  • That would be so bizarre! I never went back on them after having my baby and I think I kind of laughed at my OB when he went over BC options at my 6 week pp check up.

  • It is kind of weird to think about. I've got about 3 weeks left till our LO shows up but I'm already planning to go on something after the 6 week mark. We fell into the unexplained infertility category since there is nothing wrong with either of us and

  • I just had this talk with my OB. We are choosing not to use any BC. WIth DH's MFI/Azoo our odds are pretty much nonexistent. If by some miracle we do get pregnant, we will be happy. I'm extremely regular also so we might just try to abstain around O time
