Hi everyone. I'm new here from The Knot. We got married 6 days ago. I just finished up my last pack of BC pills (Minastrin/Loestrin) and we are planning on giving it a few months to let my body figure itself out again (been on the pill for 3.5 years) and then probably start seriously making some attempts around Christmas. I'm 33 so I would like to get PG sooner rather than later, but I know that's something I can't really control. I watched my BFF go through 6 miscarriages and 2 IVF attempts that ended in miscarriages both times (even gave her injections myself when her H had to be gone for a funeral) before ending up adopting, so it kind of freaks me out to be in that position. We just want one little one.
Any advice on anything else I should be doing at this point? My mom already went and bought me pre-natal vitamins when I sent her to Kmart to buy silver polish before the wedding, she's SO ready to be a grandma :-D
ETA: I talked to my NP at my last physical this spring and she said she doesn't see any medical reasons why I would have issues conceiving.... so let's hope she's right. I'm switching insurances on Jan 1 to Kaiser so I can't get a new doc just yet.

In Christ alone my hope is found. He is my LIGHT, my STRENGTH, and my SONG!
