TTC after years of birth control pills?

Ashley

Hey everyone,

I have decided I want baby #3 after years of birth control pills. My baby just made 3 years old so I’ve basically been taking it the entire time (1st year was the ones safe for breastfeeding so less hormones). Anyway... I can’t wait to try again. Only thing is I have a big trip planned the second week of November for my brothers 30th. It’s an adult trip & it’s gonna include lots of alcohol. Lol so I really can’t get pregnant before then.

But I do want to get pregnant ASAP from there. What would you guys suggest I do with the birth control pills situation? Debating on stopping after I complete the pack I’m currently on. I know it could take longer to start ovulating & stuff after I stop so I kind of want to stop taking them before my trip and let my body go back to normal & I can track my real cycle & test ovulation.... but I also don’t want any mishaps. Planning to use condoms for the time being.

Side note: I got pregnant literally my first try on baby #2. Like 3 weeks after stopping bc I found out I was already pregnant👀. Guess I ovulated right after.... but I know it could be very diff this time.

I stopped taking the pill a couple of months before TTC. I didn't want to risk wasting time in case it took a while for my cycle to come back. I got my period 3 times, then started ttc and got pregnant on our first try. If I were you I'd stop after this cycle and use condoms on the journey.
