My doctor just told me that as soon as I get it out, we can start trying immediately. They only issue is that if you do get pregnant right away, it can be more difficult for the doctor to date the pregnancy b/c it's less certain when you last ovulated. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/after-coming-off-of-birth-control#post-1056281 Fri, 30 Aug 2013 16:20:36 +0000 MrsScottish 1056281@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This is my first week off the mini pill. We are waiting till Dec to start trying. My body is wonky and I need some time off of hormones!!! Plus the earliest I would like to have a baby is August because of work. So we are shooting for the earliest we could have a baby full knowing that it is very unlikely that that will actually happen!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/after-coming-off-of-birth-control#post-1056267 Fri, 30 Aug 2013 16:16:11 +0000 Freckles 1056267@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Cole: I hated my "periods"...sometimes it's like 2 weeks of spotting! Okay, good to know about the implantation issue...i don't really want to go through another m/c the way i did the first time around. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/after-coming-off-of-birth-control#post-1056165 Fri, 30 Aug 2013 15:33:05 +0000 Pink Champagne 1056165@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>About 7 months after having LO, I stopped using the mini pill, got one period like a month later, got pregnant with LO#2 the month after that.<br /> First time around, my period came back right away after getting off loesterin fe. Like, within a month. Got pregnant after a few months, the first few just not really trying, then two months of charting. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/after-coming-off-of-birth-control#post-1056160 Fri, 30 Aug 2013 15:30:18 +0000 pui 1056160@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was NTNP as soon as I stopped BCP. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/after-coming-off-of-birth-control#post-1056157 Fri, 30 Aug 2013 15:29:31 +0000 cascademom 1056157@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I waited a couple of months after coming off of BC. I wanted to make sure that my cycles were consistent. Luckily, they were. I'm on a combo pill right now. I don't know if my body will react the same way especially after a pregnancy, so I'm hoping by November to be off bc and trying for LO #2 in December. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/after-coming-off-of-birth-control#post-1056151 Fri, 30 Aug 2013 15:26:41 +0000 Cole 1056151@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just had my Mirena removed Wednesday, despite having a "period" just a week before that (it is in quotes because my periods on Mirena were just a bit of spotting) I just got a real period today. </p> <p>My doctor said it was likely to come pretty quickly after removal and to go ahead and start after that. She told me I could start trying immediately if we wanted but that often the lining of your uterus won't be quite thick enough for an effective implantation so you are more likely to have a chemical pregnancy if you don't wait until your period returns. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/after-coming-off-of-birth-control#post-1056037 Fri, 30 Aug 2013 14:53:27 +0000 doxielove 1056037@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We just went for it, no waiting around a cycle for AF, etc. It didn't matter, I'm still not KU, ha! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/after-coming-off-of-birth-control#post-1056028 Fri, 30 Aug 2013 14:51:01 +0000 autumnlove 1056028@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wasn't exactly TTC but I got pregnant after my first period. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/after-coming-off-of-birth-control#post-1056024 Fri, 30 Aug 2013 14:49:24 +0000 Rubies 1056024@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For me I would wait for my period to show up just because I'm control freaky that way in that I would want to count days, figure out ovulation, etc. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/after-coming-off-of-birth-control#post-1055708 Fri, 30 Aug 2013 13:05:23 +0000 Littlebit 1055708@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm currently TTC, but we took one full cycle off (30 days) before trying. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/after-coming-off-of-birth-control#post-1055698 Fri, 30 Aug 2013 13:02:44 +0000 Freckles 1055698@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Did you wait for AF to come back before TTC? Or did you just go for it after coming off birth control?</p> <p>The first time around, i waited one cycle after coming off the pill. I'm now on Mirena and wondering if i should wait or just go ahead after i get it removed. </p>
