I think my story is kind of funny so perhaps you ladies will enjoy it.
I was on BC for many, many years and finally went off it. It was killing my desire for sex. And coupled with my thyroid condition, it made weight loss more difficult. So I figured... I'll go off for a while and see how I feel, it's not like I was seeing anyone anyways.
A few months later I started a new relationship. The first time we had sex was very passionate and unexpected. We hadn't really discussed birth control before hand because it never came up. Long story short he thought I was on the pill, I thought he was planning to use a condom... And when he didn't put one on I thought he was planning to pull out. I should've stopped it but my desire was finally back after years of being asleep and it had a hold of me.
Afterwards I got really nervous. This was the first time in my whole life I didn't use protection. (I usually used multiple kinds)
So I brought it up to him the next day and we felt so silly for being so careless. But I thought to myself... It was once in 28 years, I can't possibly be that unlucky, lol.
5 weeks later I took the first home pregnancy test I've ever taken (never had so much as a scare before) and sure enough... Pregnant.
Our LO was born May 7, 2014 and we feel so blessed by her. It's been an interesting journey for us as I've been pregnant for our whole relationship, hehe. But I believe things happen the way they are meant to happen and we've only been brought closer together by such a unique experience. He's been such an amazing, supportive and wonderful partner.
We are planning to marry next May just after our LO turns 1 and we couldn't be happier.

Re: Fertile Myrtle
When my mom met my fiancé for the first time she said "where are my grand-babies?!" Lol.
Little did any of us know, she was already on the way.
In my family, I was kind of the old maid. My mom had her first child at 19. My sisters had their first at 18 and 20.
I was 29 when my peanut was born but I think even my mom will agree she was worth the wait.
