I took my last one two weeks ago. It's def a weird feeling to go from try to PREVENT pregnancy to trying to START it. Good luck!

I know! We're so anxious to start but we have to wait until our 2wk vacay since we're going out of the country. This will be our last big vacay w/out kids and we're planning to "make" the baby while abroad. We're really hoping it works.

Good luck! Although I wasn't on the BCP I agree with Kimbus that you should give your body a few month to regulate before your baby making fun really begins.

Thank you ladies! We're planning to try in january so we're hoping it'll be enough time for my cycle to regulate. In the meantime, i have a preconception appt with my gyn to make sure i'm up to date on my vaccines and get vitamins.

We did this. LO was conceived in either India or Nepal....I think Nepal.

Just to ease your mind a little--I just recently came off my bcp with no ill effects. I feel the same, haven't had any weight or skin fluctuations, and my libido actually increased (can't complain about that!). Thought I'd share just so you don't get it in your head that everyone has a terrible time coming off the hormones...many do, and many don't.

Good luck!

Thanks!! I'm hoping i get lucky and have an easy transition. I didn't notice any changes when i started bcp so i'm hoping for the same results coming off of it.

I came off in late June and I remember that same feeling - its weird going from preventing for the past x amount of years to I hope this happens in the first few cycles. Good luck to you!

Just to add my two cents in - I was always a 28 day cycle before BC, my first cycle off BC was 35 days. Weirdest things happened: t-zone got super greasy, I hadn't had a zit in literally 6 years and I've had one each cycle (I think its around O time), and libido went through the roof! We're "trying" although I'm not temping or doing OPKs yet, just seeing what happens with the first few cycles. I know other posters will disagree with that, but just remember to do what's right for you and your relationship.

Again, good luck!
