I want to get off BCP soon to and start charting to avoid! I know my system is totally jacked up from all the hormones (been on BC for 10 years...eek!) and would like to have it all our of my system by the time we start TTC.
There are a lot of super nice girls on the Catholic board on TK that chart and are more than happy to answer questions.
Have you picked up the book Taking Charge of Your Fertility yet? That's the book that everyone has recommended to learn more about charting. I have it - it's a big book! But haven't really started reading it yet.
I also need to convince DH that it's a good idea! ![]()
Re: *sarack*
Oh yes - definitely plan on using a backup until I feel comfortable charting. I have a feeling my cycle is going to be extremely messed up when I go off BC.
I'm assuming your DH is ok with you going off BCP? Mine is just freaked out that we'll end up with an accidental pregnancy - we just aren't in the position right now to be pregnant!
Good luck!! Let me know how it goes for you
DH wanted to have babies right away so he is ok with me getting off. Also, we are getting off BCP so that when we are ready, I will know when I'm ovulating or IF i'm ovulating and already have a handle on things.
I have a feeling my cycle will be really crazy but thats ok.
