We’re about to start trying!

Hey, feel free to join us over in TTC 2020.

There is a whole world of knowledge down the rabbit hole so go as deep as you feel like. There is always more to learn about fertility. But one thing to know is that coming off of hormonal birth control, the research indicates it takes an average of about twice as long to get pregnant. That is really vague as nobody knows how long it may have taken on the other side, but the average (depending on age, lifestyle factors, etc.) of a couple not on hormonal birth control just before TTC might take 3-6 months, whereas coming off birth control it might take an average of 6-12 months and that is totally normal and to be expected. Your body may need a bit to hormonally catch up after being on birth control. This isn’t said to scare you in any way, but if it were me, I would want to know. You might get pregnant right away and carry to term and that would be awesome! I hope so. But if you don’t, don’t blame yourself or feel like there is something immediately wrong. Your body might just need a minute to catch up and regroup to regain hormonal balance and be in a place where it is ready to carry a baby.
