Hello ladies!

I have been married for a year, and my husband and I are currently talking about the possibility of trying for kiddo #1 later this year.

I have been on some form of the pill since I was 19, and I am now 29. Before I went on it, I had irregular cycles, heavy bleeding, and severe cramping (which were the reasons I went on the pill to begin with). Two years ago I had a golf ball sized fibroid tumor removed from my uterine cavity, and there was some speculation that may have been partially to blame for my symptoms pre-pill. I also have been monitoring my blood pressure as being on the pill for the better part of 10 years jas caused it to start to rise (So, I may be forced to go off hormonal BC anyway).

So, I have three months of my current refill to educate myself, plan, etc. as we are planning on trying to figure out my natural cycle first before jumping right on the baby-making train. Lol.

What should I expect going off the pill?

What resources can I look up about the FAM?

Can I start charting BBT now, even though I am on the pill still?

What were your experiences going off the pill?

Thanks ladies!! 😊😊😊
