Awesome blOg Mrs S! Lovin the cupcake too =) Sat down with my OH for a chat the other night. He said he's really excited to be TTC in May but wants me to take my last pill packet this month so he has the date in May to look forward to. He says it gives him something to "build up to"...not really sure what this means. When I said it could take us months to get BFP he shrugged and said "or if you came off it now you could be pregnant in weeks"...och he doesnae get it =(

The thing is though, Sooz, it could take at least 3 months for your body to get used to getting into a natural cycle without the BC. That's one of the reasons I came off The Pill.

Personally, I would just tell him I'm coming off the pill now and if he wants to avoid pregnancy for a bit, he'll have to 'put something on the end of it' (Jeremy Kyle style!). Don't give him a choice - it's your body.

(I'm not talking about 'tricking' him into pregnancy here - just that you can decide on your own what you want to put into your body, and he should respect your wishes.).

I agree!! I told my OH I was coming off as I was fed up with controlling my body with chemicals! Want to have natural cycles! He was fine with it. I bought condoms for us which we started using but he doesn't like the lack of feeling with them so usually takes it off part way through! Maybe we'll have an accident?!!!!

The thing is, I was taught - when I did my family planning training - that you get a fertility surge once you come off the pill. I'd like to make the most of it do don't really want to come off then not start TTC. Bloody blokes - they huvnae a clue!!

IMHO is sounds like a good idea to wait and take advantage of it

.
My daughter is a product of the "fertility surge" lol.

Hello lovely ladies! Just wanted to check in and let you know I haven't disappeared. The reason I haven't posted much lately is that I'm currently in an unintentional 2WW after a broken condom on CD12 and then ovulating 3 days early the following day! Some of you may have seen the thread. So up until I'm able to test I'm not really sure where I should be posting... not really sure how I feel either, hmmm.

Anyway I hope this hasn't offended anyone, I know there's a certain etiquette around this sort of stuff but just wanted to let you know I haven't just disappeared.

Lots of love to all

Yeah, I've had a good weekend, though I worked on Saturday, so I only got a one-day weekend! I spent a lot of the day making a WTT/NTNP/TTC website and blog for myself! http://family.mrs-swaffer.net

There's not much content just yet, but I'm hoping it'll grow over time and hopefully turn into a pregnancy/birth/parenting blog!

Loving the blog!!
