Newbie on the board here, hi everyone.
My DP works offshore, and we've just started properly TTC, but now realise that it will be another 6 months before his fortnight home coincides with PD.
So, I really need to delay this next period/ovulation cycle by about 4 days otherwise it will keep happening whilst he's away. Only, I'm a bit worried that the hormones in the mini-pill will throw my system out, but I don't want to waste 6 months waiting for our schedules to sync.
To further complicate things, I work away too, and in the past few months we haven't used BC but I knew that conception was not unlikely due to our work schedules. Where he works is offshore, so it's not possible for me to go up there and booty call him on peak day, so changing my cycle is our only chance.
Has anyone else had experience of this? And I'm also worried that with the slight chance I could be PG if I take this, google came up with articles on birth defects.
