My DH and I were married 10/13/13 and we have always agreed on the fact that we will wait 2+ years before we start TTC. I am on some pretty nasty medications to stop some joint damage in my hands (nonspecific rheumatoid-like arthritis) and am currently on BCP. I am having the Mirena "installed" in December so that my body can get back to producing its own baby-making hormones (side note - I went off BCP for about a year before meeting my husband and my body regulated itself).
I hope I'm not alone. It's getting pretty ridiculous.


Married: 10/13/2013

Re: BOTB
There are definitely other women here that are TTA like you are. Stick around, you'll learn a lot, and it'll help pass the time until you're ready to TTC.
