Done

Bye bye birth control pill. Since my 6 week postpardum
visit, I have been taking the "mini" pill since I was
breastfeeding. Then at my recent annual, my OB
recommended the real "pill" since I was only nursing
once a day. So I made the switch knowing that I would
only be on it for a few months time. The first two
weeks there were no noticeable side effects (I never
get side effects) then week 3 came and so did my
period. What??? I was so not prepared - you know being
in Vegas and all at a huge hotel where I had to make a
pretty decent trek to a store that sold what are those
things called again, oh yeah - tampons! Bummer! I so
wasn't prepared. I had not had a period in like 2
years. Man, was I spoiled. Well, the cramping began
and the fun symptoms that go along with
this monthly bill and let me tell you they had not
let up until just yesterday!!! So I know this is a
common side effect starting the pill (and I am on the
lowest dose there is), but it really bugs. So I told
my husband that this could possibly be in effect for a
few months with this nonsensical bleeding. To which he
said. "Just go off of it and if you get pregnant, you
get pregnant." Well, granted, it would be another huge
blessing, but I am a bit of a scheduler freak and
prefer our babies to not have the same birthday. I was
really hoping to get rpegnant later this year, not
now. Well, who knows what is up with my body. But, I
am going to stop taking the pill. So here's what I
bought - Cycle Beads http://www.cyclebeads.com/. Yes, I am
going to try the old Calendar method and we'll see
what happens. Really, it doesn't matter either way.
What is meant to be is meant to be. I either have the
baby before my 30th birthday and party like it's 1999
(totally kidding) or I am a big moo cow and I shake my
rump. This assuming that I am having some big "party"
for my 30th. Actually my birthday is really not a consideration.
I was just kind of hoping for over 2 years apart then exactly
2 years apart. But, in all honesty I will be stoked either way.

So technically, I have been off the pill for 7 days
now as those last pills are fakes anyway. I am
prepared with ovulation kits, pregnancy tests and soon
to be in hand Cycle Beads. Now life just has to happen
and we'll roll with it.
