i learned something today ... LOL
today i bought taking charge of your fertility and read the first 30 pages at the gym. i also bought a BBT thermometer because my gyn said I should - and i also do - want to start temping and charting...
soooo, today after reading the paperwork with the thermometer - i learned that a BBT thermometer goes in your mouth... not in any other orifices....
not sure why i assumed otherwise, i guess just the thought of a temp telling you about your girly parts made me think that you had to put the thermometer in your girly parts to get a reading..
never been so happy to be wrong about something!!

You can actually temp vaginally and it can be more accurate and consistent than oral temping because it's not affected by things like sleeping with your mouth open adn things like that. But only do vaginally if your chart is crazy.

Out of curiosity, did you have a problem with the pill while you were on it?

nope , i actually loved the pill and was a big pro-pill person til the day i stopped taking it..
and thats when the problem began cause today im on cd82 and havent O'ed at all.
i know its not the pills fault that i may have PCOS (not fully diagnosed yet), but for me personally i dont think i would ever try to mask what my body wants to do. i had a totally normal cycle prior to BCP and because BCP worked so well i had absolutely no way of knowing there was ever an issue at all. i know its my own fault and not the pill but like i said for me personally i dont want to go back. however i would still recommend for younger woman who dont want to get pregg anytime soon. but as soon as i got married in 07 i wish i went off and i wish i had known then the natural ways to avoid PG so that my body would be good and ready now that it is time. JMO of course.

Thanks! Those are all definitely valid reasons. I guess I am just making myself nervous because I am going off the pill in the fall (probably November, so not TOO soon, but not too far either!) And, I am getting last minute pessimism that it will take me forever to get pregnant

hey a lot of girls on LIF got PG right after going off so its prob 50-50 how long it will take your body to regulate. my Dr. also said it depends how long you have been on the pill - which for me was 12 years almost straight (i think i took 1 month off in those 12 years!).
anyway GL and
