If you knew then what you know now what would you have done differently?
Before TTC or as you've been TTC...what changes would you make if you could go back in the past?

Re: If you knew then what you know now what would you have done differently?
Guess I should answer my own question:
I would have convinced DH to start trying a little earlier and I would have gone to the doctor a lot sooner.
And I also think I would have never gone on the pill to begin with.

Re: If you knew then what you know now what would you have done differently?
I would have tried earlier.
But I think I just got a late start in life...I didn't get married until I was 29 and then we had to start saving for a house that we thought we would have had already. (not that I feel I am too old...but I think it's a factor).
The only REAL thing I could have done was meet my DH younger and instead of waiting 1 year to TTC gotten busy on our HM...

Re: If you knew then what you know now what would you have done differently?
It's only been a few months for me but I wish I looked into charting, opks, etc more before I started trying.
PS - never been on the pill and it's not necessarily happening immediately as I wished it would so who knows... And a good friend of mine went off the pill and get pg the first mth of trying. God works in mysterious ways...

Re: If you knew then what you know now what would you have done differently?
Started charting and learning more about my body earlier ....I think this so crucial !
Also, not sure why dh and I waited so many years to get married :) However, I have faith it was for a good reason ....

Re: If you knew then what you know now what would you have done differently?
Hmmm..... not much because I am glad I didn't have a baby with my ex. Perhaps I would have started charting sooner, although the only time I did get pg was before I started charting so...it's hard to say.....
I too believe that everything happens for a reason. I have no IDEA what reason that may be right now, though!!!!!!!!

Re: If you knew then what you know now what would you have done differently?
I am curious, why would so many of you not have gone on the pill? Is it so you could have gotten pregnant as soon as possible/before you were married? Or because you feel the pill somehow prevents you from getting pregnant now?
Personally, if I could change things, I would have gotten married younger and had my kids younger so that I wasn't in such a "rush" now!

I know for me, the pill REEKED havoc on my body and permanetely messed with my cycles. I don't know if it was just coincidence, but when I went off the pill, my cramps were much worse than they were before on it, cycles were longer-they would range from 30-37 days, PMS was much worse off the pill than before it.
When i was on the pill, they totally killed my sex drive, made me dry, irritable. Only plus's were my skin was soo clear and my pms and flow was minimal.

Re: If you knew then what you know now what would you have done differently?
I would have started earlier, and convinced DH we should have gotten married earlier. We talked about having a baby 2 and 1/2 yrs ago and changed ourt minds

Yes, considering I might ovulate once a year... even with the co-pays I spend about a $1K on the pill over about 10 years.

Re: If you knew then what you know now what would you have done differently?
I too feel like the pill messed up all knowledge I have of my cycles.
If I hadn't gone on it I would have realized that I have ovulation issues and known this was going to be a stuggle. I could have convince DH that we needed to start earlier.
I just feel like it caused a major obstacle, but I'm not basing that on scientific fact, just gut instinct.
And, like Theresa said - mucho dinero!!

Re: If you knew then what you know now what would you have done differently?
I would have started trying on our honeymoon like my DH wanted to and not waited. I have to agree I woulnt have gone on the pill either. My cycles, since I went off, are actually shorter but my cramps are awful.

I am only a month off the pill and can't believe how much better I feel. My mood has been lifted my headaches are gone and my libido is back. I didn't realize how much bcp affected me until I stopped taking them. The only thing I liked about them was knowing exactly when AF was coming and how long she was staying.
