May feels like forever away haha But I know it'll go by before we know it

my DH will wonder if I'm testing soon, but probably won't really know exactly how long before I can test! The more I think of it he might really like to be there when I test, but I love doing surprises and want to video tape his reaction!!
Maybe a fortune cookie? Or buying him an early fathers day present!

Both great ideas! All so exciting!

I want to TTC in April/May and am currently on the nuvaring.. when should I stop using it to regulate my cycle so I can test for ovulation?

Kay- I'm in the exact same spot, been on nuva ring for 8+ years.

Would an "early surprise" be okay?

Your answer to Gen's question would surmise it all. You see, I went off bc in mid-August and I'm glad because my cycle seemed to be normal the first two months then went haywire the third. I got it jump started with some progesterone and am now on my fourth month. I think this will be a normal cycle but I'm not sure.

I wanted to go off early for a few reasons. One was because I wanted to start charting to get a feel for my cycle. Another was because my friend went off when she started TTC and it took her three months to get back to normal and get pg. I have heard that it takes approximately 3 months to get ovulating correctly again, and I have used her as supporting evidence to this fact in combination with what happened to me.

However, my husband and I would be ok with a "surprise." It wouldn't be a huge deal...and thank goodness...because I think he doesn't know the difference in WTT and NTNP! It would be convenient for us to conceive in May but not neccessary.

So, if you are ok with a surprise then I think going off bc would be no big deal; however, if it will be an inconvenience for you to get pg before April then I would suggest no or wait until January or February. Ultimately its up to you.

Hope that helps!

your response was a ton of help thanks! It's definitely a lot to think about and plan for but I probably should stop In Jan to let the cycle get situated and just use condoms or something until we are ready to see what happens

Hey ladies!
Had a dream last night that I had twin girls!!! I was so in love and was trying to be such a good mom, remembering to burp the kids and always had a spit up rag handy!

It was loooove!

If I had a dream that I had twin girls I would wake up bald from pulling my hair out from anxiety!

Also, don't tell your husband that dream or he might change his mind about TTC! LOL

But now I bet your baby fever is even worse!

Twins ..... in thought that sounds wonderful but i'd be so panicked!
What a lovely dream, though! Maybe it'll come true ---- they say dreams mean things!
