Hello everyone. I just want to introduce myself. My name is Aymie, I'm 29, and live in Houston with my husband, Jay who is 35. We both have boys from a previous marriage. They're pretty much the same age and are in the same grade. Our sons became "brothers" around three years ago. My husband and I both became parents of two children with the experience of only going through pregnancy once. I never thought I wanted three kids at any point in time but the second child of which I have taken in has been a blessing. But after parenting these boys for a while, we always felt something was missing. Over the past couple of years, we have tossed around the idea of a third child...but we already know what it's like to have boys. I also never had any sisters, so naturally I have a yearning for a girl.

We are going to get off birth control soon (the pill) and I'd like to have a test month just to see how my body reacts. I want to make sure I start menstruating and going through one monthly cycle to make sure everything is fine with that before I start trying to get my body ready and conceive at the right times. It seems there are so many preliminary measures to take that I have to start getting ready now.

Thank you for reading my story. I look forward to all the information, advice, and friendship here.

Aymie

There is a lot, and it's all good info!

FWIW, you might want to hold off on quitting your BCP until you want to conceive. Your first cycle or two off the pill sway pink!

I am just concerned after being on BCPs or so many years that I want to make sure my reproductive system goes back to normal. But I wanna try on cycle two. Should this be ok?
