Birth Control and Planning for another baby...

I'm thinking of trying to start on on our second in May. I just had a miscarriage two weeks ago (i'm fine - really)and we have a healthy 10 month old boy. Should I go on BC until then or let nature takes it's course and if it happens it happens? It may seem silly but it can be quite confusing. I'm nervous to mess with the hormones again.

Sorry to hear about your loss. We planned to have our kids 5 years apart so I went back on my bcp after my 1st child. I stopped 4 years after her birth and it took us 6 months to get pg. with our 2nd. I went back on my bcp and since he is our last, I will continue on it until menopause-lol!!

I guess if mentally and physically you're OK with getting pregnant before May I would just try to chart and be careful that way but be prepared for an oops if it happened.

HUGS!!!
It is up to you. You can just avoid sex during your most fertile days (not as effective as BCPs, but no hormones).

we are going to try again this time next year & I am not going back on BCP - really if it happens sooner we'd be OK with it- so that's our plan- I don't really ever want to go back on BCP ever again.
at this point, having a newborn is all the birth control we need- ha ha.

If you don't want to mess with the pill & you want to be more careful. I say use condoms.
