Congrats cptaceck!!!!!!!

LAL - yes I was pregnant immediately after stopping the pill.

& I agree with PP. I didn't think you had necessarily started trying or anything - my comments were more meant along the lines to relax about it. The more you "try" the less likely it will happen. Easier said than done, of course. It's a big decision and hard to wait when you are ready. But relax and be open that it may take a LONG time. Or it may happen tomorrow. That's all you can really know!

Well, thank you all! Sorry to hijack this thread, though! I've told most of my immediate family so far, and everyone is waaaay excited!

While stressing out about trying to get pregnant is not the way to go, there are ways to determine if you are fertile at a certain time, which may help. By watching your basal body temperature and cervical mucus, you can get a better idea as to if you are fertile or not. (No, it is not the calendar method.) There are also ovulation sticks you can get at walgreens and the like that you pee on and it tells you if you are fertile at that time.

We didn't do that...we just needed some time where we weren't apart over half the week every week, thank goodness.
