So, I talked with DH about the BCP---

He said he wants me to take the new ones (lower dose to help reduce migraines) for a few months, then I will stop the pills for a few months in preparation for TTC.

Not quite what I was hoping for, but a few months isn't that bad. I did get him to agree that if the migraines are no better that I can stop BCP all together.

So, for now, I am concentrating on losing weight in preparations for TTC.

Thanks for your support on my "introduction" post.

Good luck!

My DH was also resistant to me going off BCP before we were ready. In the end I told him I wanted off at least a few cycles before we started TTC and that we could use a barrier method for conception. I had two cycles off and then we've started TTCing this month. I really felt that time off was invaluable and helped me to get to know my cycles so that we're not just randomly having sex without any knowledge of my O date or anything - fun, but probably a waste of time! In fact, my cycle is a bit weird in that it's about 29 days, but I don't actually O until day 19 or so. I'm sure we would've been trying mid month and getting very frustrated!

Have a happy few months!
