BC question...


DillsMommy wrote: Lately I've really had the baby itch, I think it's from being on this board so much! rolling_smile.gif DH and I have decided we want to start trying around Febuary for baby #2. We are both really excited. wub.gif I've been on BC for a little over 4 years. My question is, when should I stop taking the BC? I know everyones different, but if you've been on it that long does it take longer to get pregnant? Dylan was deffinitly a "surprise", I got pregnant very easily, would that make a difference? And how long were you off the pill before getting pregnant? Just looking for some insight. Thanks!

PrairieMom replied: I got off it 3 months before we started trying. It gave my cycle time to regulate a little so I knew when I was ovulating.

C&K*s Mommie replied: I do not know much about bc, but I wish you success in TTC next yr.

I do know what you mean about the baby fever though. It is a constant thought in my head about wanting more kids.

moped replied: I went off in April and was pregnant in June....first real try. So go off now! wink.gif

McKenna replied: I know the one that Gem was using recommended being off for 3 months to allow your system to sort itself out.

But then it doesnt really matter one of her freinds stopped taking it and immiediatley fell pregnant lol, just depends on the person i guess.

sparkys2boys replied: I have actually heard up to a year that you should be off it.. not sure though. Good luck with TTC!!!

Boo&BugsMom replied:
Us too! laugh.gif Only I went off of it in June and found out I was PG in August!

DillsMommy replied: Thanks ladies, I'm getting so excited about it, and a little nervouse too. Everyone keeps telling me how much harder it is with two kids. I'll keep everyone posted. wink.gif

holley79 replied: Good luck TTC. I would go with what Tara said about giving your body time to regulate. I'm not a very good source when it comes to BC as I haven't used it since I was 18. unsure.gif

Cece00 replied: Well, lets see...I got pregnant on bc pills twice...and I wasnt on bc pills for 2 of my kids...one was a big surprise, the other we had to try almost 4 months for.

My OB says usually within a couple of months its OK to start trying (1-2 months after stopping) which works out b/c you can stop taking the bc and start taking prenatals.

Our Lil' Family replied: I got off in January and got pregnant in June. I got off one month before we started actually trying but it took a while for me to recognize some sort of normality and pattern of my cycle.
