so last night was my last BCP. i'm excited, nervous, scared and happy all at the same time.
we had originally decided to wait until this christmas to kick the pill, but we've been talking since the wedding that maybe i go off sooner and just see what happens. not actively try, but not prevent either. there are a few reasons why i wanted to go off earlier and a couple reasons why i didnt want to.
Pros:
-hopefully lose the few pounds i'd been trying to get rid off for the last year
-i can get the hormones out of my system before we were wanting to actively try, just incase it took a few months for my cycle to regulate
-hopefully be able to figure out if my cycles are regular or not
-possibly give my husband a baby before he turns 30 (something he said he would like to have)
-his sister is having a baby in january so they would be closer in age
Cons: (all of these basically have to do with getting pregnant right away....)
-not being able to go to his family reunion in new brunswick next august
-not being able to afford going on maternity leave sooner
-the uncertainty of not knowing what my cycle is and being unprepared when aunt flow visits
i'm not quite sure how i feel about it all yet. i know i can't wait to be a mom, but there's that voice in the back of my head that makes me worry about us not being ready for this.... we have a week to decide for sure if im staying off the pill or if i'm going to go one more month. i'm pretty sure this is it though.
FYI, starting when AF shows up, i'm going to be keeping track of my cycle in my blogs, so anyone that doesn't want to know about it just don't read it ;) i just want to remember everything about this journey we're taking <3
