One more month

Vintage Birth Control Ad


My last month of birth control started yesterday.  We have originally planned on throwing it away this up coming December and officially starting to try for babies, but I really feel that it is going to be a very long road and have changed my mind.  So it just so happens that there are no more refills left on my bc prescription this month so I decided just to go with the "flow" and not to go to the gyno to get any more after this.  I really just want to see if I can even have a period without bc.  Last time I was off for a year and did not ovulate once.  So we have decided to give it til December, then when I have a gyno appointment I can tell her that I have been off for 6 months and haven't ovulated. Rather than having nothing to say other than we want to start trying.   So we will be using other forms of bc til December and just see how it goes with my cycle.

We picked December as the official "start date" because it is a safe enough distance to finishing our PhD's.   We think we will be done late summer 2013... so if the heavens open up and I get pregnant the first time, we will be done with school by the time baby is ready to be here.  I really dont think this will happen, but we want to give it the old college try before we move onto adoption.
