You could always go off and then chart.

Going off the pill makes my skin insane.

Never had bad skin until I started the pill.

I thought it was suppose to be the opposite!

I know. It screwed my hormones to the point that I can''t go off of it.

I started my countdown to going off of the pill. January 1, 2012.

So close but so far!

LOL! But it'll be here sooner than you think! I freaked out because I got an email from The Knot which told me that it was 18 months til my wedding. (I had to put in a date when I signed up...just so I had a place to store vendor info an stuff.) I put in our 3 year anniversary cuz that would be my dream date. And that's only 18 months away! EEK!

LOL. I felt like such a nerd picking out a Knot date when we werent engaged yet. But it also felt awesome!

Its going to go by so fast, VC. SO fast. I swear I still feel like I should be on the LIW list.

I actually dont even want to wait until 2012. If we get preggers RIGHT when I go off, I'll still be 30 when I have the kid. I wanted to do it a little earlier but I just dont see how its possible. I wish I could go off in 2011.

I don't want to have my first one until 30, lol. Partially because I want 3-4 years between kids and that will give me every reason in the world to stop at 2...A wants 5.

FIVE?! OMGoodness! Try putting 5 through college!

When J and I started dating, he did NOT want kids. At all.

The longer we were together, the more he loved the idea of us having a family.

We'd like two. But I want the first one out of diapers before we have the second, and I'd also like to be done by 35. Tight schedule!

My clock is ticking.

I'd like 2. I figure if I don't start til 30, want them all before 35, and require at least 3 years between the kiddos...then I'm done at 2!!!

ETA: A comes from a big family. His dad and siblings have 5/4/4/3/2 in terms of kids (A and his siblings/cousins). The oldest of the kids from the family with 5 already has 5 of her own.

Pretty much!!!

I like to think it''s a pretty good schedule.

Ok. I''m dying here. Home for lunch!

This doesn''t really relate to anything, but it''s funny/weird. My parents started trying for me when they were 23 and 22. They couldn''t get preggo for a few months, so the doctor told them to get on adoption lists because it probably wasn''t gonna happen for them.

But then I showed up and the doc told them to start trying for another as soon as possible because it might take a long time again. Lo and behold, they get preggo on the first try and my sister and I are only 16 months apart.

Two kids in diapers for a few years! Eeee!!! My mom is like Britney Spears but classy and poor.

Then of course it took them 4 years of trying for my brother. Jeez...that''s why I''m done with BC. I don''t want it to take 4 years of trying!

My sis and I are only 17 months apart. Hence the 3 year rule for my children, lol.

And sunny, TRYING is the FUN PART!!!

(But I totally understand not wanting to try for 4 years. That would be uber frustrating!)

I think BC turned me into an asexual. Crap! Another reason I stopped.

 

[Hudson_Hawk]

Classy and poor...I like it!

My mom had chronic fertility issues with not being able to get pregnant and then having recurrent miscarriages. I''m slightly paranoid that I''ll have issues so if we really DO get KU the first month we try I''ll be floored.

Fortunately, I haven''t had that problem. It''s more work that ruins my libido, lol.

Fingers crossed that the fertility issues aren''t genetic, HH!

 

[Hudson_Hawk]

Yea I was on BCP for like 12 years or so, it takes awhile but it happens to most women. Just you wait...

Well, I only started it about 2 years ago...so I guess I have plenty of time for it to "kick in" if you will...

Took about 5 years for me.

Now I''m stuck on it. Gee, thanks!

 

[vc10um]

Welcome back, elle!

5 years, eh? Guess I''ll have to deal with about 2 years of crap before going off of it to TTC...darn.

 

[sunnyd]

Uhhh I think it took me about 5 months.

If WL is any indication, I can''t freakin'' wait to be 30!

 

[Hudson_Hawk]

WL is hawt. I hope I''m like her when I turn 30...in 4 months and 5 days...YIKES!

 

[vc10um]

OMG, I didn''t realize WL was 30!!! *sigh* You have great genes, woman!

Same with you, HH!
