Officially Off Bc

well, it's official. i just finished off a
packet of pills and we won't be refilling
my prescription.
we're not going to actively start trying
until august (because of the wedding), but
we're not going to be doing much to
prevent it either. we're just going to try
to avoid my fertile days, which might be
tricky since i'm just coming off the pill.
is there anything i should expect after
being on the pill for 6 months?

Nothing I can think of. Well, actually I
starting getting headaches and found
myself hungrier than usual. I don't know
if that has to do with the pill.
Did Sarah and I give you baby fever? lol
I had a dream that me, you, Sarah, and the
kids were somewhere sitting in a circle
talking. lol

i was just wondering if there would be
random bleeding or anything.
i've had baby fever for a looooooong time.
we really want to start trying in august
so i figured i'd go off it now and give my
body some time to adjust. i'm not
expecting anything to happen anytime soon,
but if it does it won't be a big deal. i
was just hoping to lose more weight before
the wedding and i can't diet if i'm
pregnant.
lol, you were in my dream last week. i
don't remember what it was about but i
woke up and was like, "what?"

thanks cindy! i hope it doesn't take long.
i'm addicted to peeing on sticks and we
could go broke if this takes months upon
months. the first time i got pregnant it
took 8 months and it took 4 months with
finn.

That's funny. I think we were sitting
around in a hotel room on folding chairs
holding our kids. It was strange and I
have no idea what we were talking about.
I didn't have any strange bleeding, but
when I had my last period it was sooooo
heavy! No cramps though, which is odd for
me.

I went off .Ortho .Tri. .Cyclen .Lo after
my last relationship ended and I switched
to condoms. I don't remember having any
side effects right after I stopped taking
it, but my periods have gotten irregular
and .I skipped my period 2 months in a row
in .Feb and .March but wasn't pregnant.
 My periods are
definitely heavier now, though.
Good luck! I'm excited for you.
edited to add: I didn't have any random
bleeding when .I went off bc. I had
random bleeding when I was .o.n it!

I think alot of it has to do with why you
went on birth control to begin with.
If you went on it only to not get
pregnant. It shouldn't be to bad. You'll
probably have some spotting for the first
few months, and you might not have a set
schedule right away. So don't panic if
your a day or two late. But, you also
might get pregnant right away.
But, If you went on birth control for long
or heavy periods or to regulate your
cycle, you should expect whatever problems
you had before. (possibly worse the first
few weeks) And feel fortunate if you
don't.
I could tell you my personal
experience....but it wouldn't apply. I
hope everything goes smooth for you!

christy, i went on it so i wouldn't get
pregnant. i think i went through 7
packets. that might not matter, i'm just
saying i wasn't on it too long. pre-preg
i'd had a 28-day cycle pretty much for the
last 15 years.
sarah, i don't know if i want a baby
bridget! i have all the boy stuff and
they'd be sharing a room so i kind of want
a boy next. of course, it really doesn't
matter!

Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if you
were back in that cycle in 3 months
(possibly sooner) I hope it goes smooth!
