Question, Baby Or No Baby?? (Page 2)

Lol this is rediculous... I dunno if your bc is different or what, my active pills are blue and white.. My placebo/sugar/inactive pills are green, and I know they dont really matter that much, if it were the green pills I missed, I wouldnt have any questions.

Everyone's body is different. Some people might get pregnant their first month of trying, others it can take over a year. I've never been on the pill and it took me 8 months the first time and 4 the second. You just have to be patient and have a lot of sex (that's not so bad!).

Lol this is rediculous... I realize what the sugar/placebo/inactive pills are and that they dont really matter. I dunno if you guys have a different bc or what but my placebo/inactive/sugar pills are green and I wouldnt have questions if thats what I had missed.

Lol.. Naa not so bad. I just have the fear of it taking 8 months- a year. :(

if you plan on ttc'ing for a child in 6 months, you should stop the pill 3 months prior to regulate your cycles and ensure that its working on it own.

Well then stop using the pill and let your body do whatever it is to get back to normal and use another method of b/c. Never mind hubby not liking the comdom....Make him use it....Who cares bout his satisfaction. Lol

just kidding, but if you dont' like the pill and dont' want to use it just don't.

i came off the nuvaring in january and I got pregnant in march. I was lucky. Most women don't get so lucky

i wasn't criticizing, I was merely asking a question. And it doesn't sound like it is convenient to you to use this form of birth control if you had forgotten it. That was all I said.

It can take awhile after birth control for your body to regulate itself. Your cycles may be 'off' for a few months. It is recommended to wait 3 months after birth control pills to try and conceive. Read the insert on your birth control pack, you do not want to become pregnant while taking those pills.

Good luck!

I've heard of some people going off birth control to prepare their bodies for a baby, and in the mean time.. They just dont have sex at certain times... I know that obviously when they ovulate... But what kind of window should I give myself... Like dont have sex that whole week??

Uh... You could use a condom?

Or maybe another barrier method?

I don't know about if your pregnant or your chances of being pregnant. But if you are sure that within the next 6months you would like to become pregnant I would stop using the pills now and just maybe use condoms until your really ready to try. The longer you are on pills the longer(sometimes) it takes your body to become pregnant.

Don't quit mid-cycle though. That can really mess up your cycle. Quit when you start the sugar pills to lessen the risk of having a late or screwed up period.

A friend of mine went off the pill for 18 months before they started trying - she fell pregnant straight away. I was on the pill for 5 years and went off the pill and it took us 15 months to fall pregnant. Give your body time to get back to 'normal'.

Good luck and remember to have fun - dont make it a chore!

Look on the bright side if you do get preggers now you would be preggers in 6 months.
