Hello! Huge thanks to bluebird44, @ammr44, and @abadeffingapple for sending me a PM on the TB so I could find all you awesome ladies over here. Just wanted to do a quick into (aka, I'm copying what I wrote on TB).

My husband and I have discussed TTC #1, and agree on June of this year. I have a BBT and TCOYF being shipped (Yay for Amazon Prime!). In the meantime, I've downloaded the ebook "Charting Your Way to Conception" by fertilityfriend.com. I'm planning on stopping my BCP at the end of this pack so I can start tracking. I don't generally have a visit from AF at all while I'm on BC, so I thought these few months off might help my body get back into the natural swing of things. I do understand that you should start charting from the first day of your period. However, since I am not likely to get one for at least a month after stopping BC, should I start temping from my first BC free day? Or wait that month? I'm not able to find much for an answer, so I'd appreciate any advice you have.

Again, I'm super grateful to the ladies who reached out to me. I'm looking forward to having a place to chat w/o feeling like I am overwhelming my friends, since no one else is TTC'ing, or expecting currently.

Thanks!

Welcome!

I suggest starting to chart on CD1 of your first cycle off BCP. No need to let that month go by. If anything, it just helps you get in the habit quicker.

Sounds like you're off to a great start, so my only other piece of advice right now is to start taking a prenatal vitamin. It is recommended to start one at a minimum of 3 months prior to TTC, but there's no reason you can't start now. Personally I take the rainbow light ones. I have a sensitive stomach for vitamins so I take it right after a meal, but it's much easier on my stomach than a lot of other vitamins!

I will definitely start temping when I'm off the BCP. LadyNymeria good call. I'll add prenatals to my Target list, as if I needed another excuse to go there.

I was one of those lucky people who didn't have any messed up periods (yet anyway) after coming off and I didn't chart until halfway through that first cycle and I regret that. Welcome!
