Hi all,
Looking for some advice regarding when to stop taking the pill. DH and I have just decided to start TTC #1 at the end of September/beginning of October depending on if/when I'm ovulating.
I know that there is a big debate regarding when to stop hormonal contraception, as some believe there is a 'fertility spike' immediately afterwards and others want to give their bodies time to establish a normal cycle again before TTC.
Ideally I would like to give my body some time to adjust, but as I'm still on the pill and we're looking to start TTC so soon, I'm hoping that I'll start ovulating soon after stopping BCP.
I've got six pills left on this pack. Should I stop now, or finish the pack and then stop?
In a way, it seems to me that I started the pill at a natural point in my cycle (granted, this was 5+ years ago), so if I finish the pack, my body might adjust more quickly back to where it's meant to be. Does this make any sense at all? It did seem a bit crazy taking a pill last night after just agreeing with DH to TTC...
Opinions wanted!
